phonagnosia

About 3% of People Can’t Recognize Voices, Study Says

A new study from the University of Southern California set out to determine the prevalence of the relatively rare condition known as phonagnosia. This disorder, which most people likely have never even heard of, describes the inability to recognize the voices of those close to you. According to the research, approximately 3% of people can’t recognize voices, and they may not even know it.
