The assumption that the phoneme is the perceptual speech unit was tested with a group of moderately hearing impaired subjects. The subjects responded to nonsense syllables, using any of eight consonants with either of two vowels, by forced choice consonant identification. Vocalic environment affects the consonant selected, rejected, found ambiguous or incorrectly accepted. The syllable appears to be the minimal perceptual unit of speech for such a population.
