Our Skin Helps Us "Hear" Speech

A new study from Canada shows that our skin helps us hear speech by sensing the puffs of air that the speaker produces with certain sounds. The study is the first to show that when we are in conversation with another person we don’t just hear their sounds with our ears and use our eyes to interpret facial expressions and other cues (a fact that is already well researched), but we also use our skin to “perceive” their speech.
