Abstract
BACKGROUND: The term Mondegreens describes misperceptions as defined by "slips of the ear", denoting that an utterance is perceived differently to what has actually been said. The analysis of these misperceptions permits a deeper insight into speech processing in the human brain. METHOD: A selective literature research in PubMed has been carried out for this systematic review. RESULTS: Altogether, 24 publications were found addressing the issue of auditory misperceptions. DISCUSSION: The analysis of Mondegreens enables a characterization of the different levels of speech processing as well as the processing steps involved. The hard of hearing in particular suffer from misperceptions. Therefore, it should be considered whether listening programs could be helpful in combination with hearing aids.
