Obesity may change how you hear your own voice

NCT ID NCT06298539

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how women with obesity perceive sounds they make themselves compared to sounds made by others. Researchers tested 37 women to see if the 'sensory attenuation' effect—where self-made sounds seem quieter—is different in obesity. The goal is to better understand how the brain processes sensory information in people with obesity.
