      Les premiers auteurs qui ont étudié ce phénomène, Taupin, Piorry, Hourmann (Revue médicale française et étrangère, juillet 1839), qui lui a donné le nom d’autophonie, Hornemann, ont eu le tort, d’après l’auteur, de donner à ce signe une signification symptomatique trop étendue, et de créer des variétés purement artificielles, en admettant l’autophonie normale, ægophonique, bronchophonique, etc.
      The first authors who studied this phenomenon, Taupin, Piorry, Hourmann (Revue médicale française et étrangère, July 1839), who gave it the name of autophony, and Hornemann were wrong, according to the author, to give to this sign a too extensive symptomatic significance, and to create purely artificial varieties, by admitting normal autophony, aegophonic, bronchophonic, etc.
