The article deals with the issue of voicing implementation in the speech of normally hearingand hearing impaired individuals from the perspective of speech-language pathology, phonetics and phonology. The research is based on data acquired in an experiment employing acoustic phonetic methodology in the form of voice onset time (VOT) measurements in plosives as well as auditory analysis and transcription of the recorded material performed by specialists. The paper presents a novel typology of voicing disorders and a comparative analysis of objective acoustic measurements and subjective auditory impressions. The final part of the article is devoted to a discussion on a selection of voicing disorder-related claims available in relevant literature and a new interpretation of the matter.
