"Do You Hear a Voice When You Read? Exploring Endophasia"

Research indicates that the majority of people experience an "inner reading voice" (IRV) when they read, with around 82.5% hearing a voice that has qualities like identity, gender, and emotional tone. Studies show that while some people can control aspects of their IRV, such as volume and whose voice they hear, about 20% of people read without hearing any internal voice. The phenomenon of internal monologues and IRVs remains under-studied, despite its prevalence.
