The adoption of deep learning techniques in recent literature is motivated by their superior performance compared to classical machine learning methods. However, ethical and regulatory concerns regarding the black-box nature of these models have limited their integration into clinical workflows. Consequently, explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) has recently been used to address this issue by generating explanations for opaque model outputs. Ideally, medical XAI systems aim to provide human-understandable, clinically grounded explanations essential for enhanced AI trustworthiness and, thereby, facilitate adoption into real-world clinical settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"objective\">\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conduct a systematic literature review of XAI methods applied for explaining deep learning techniques in audio-based voice and speech clinical applications. We aim to identify what XAI methods have been used to explain the decisions of deep learning voice and speech AI systems in health care, as well as XAI-informed insights. Additionally, we aim to contextualize these findings with respect to clinical applicability and stakeholder relevance. Lastly, we identify opportunities and recommendations for future clinical audio XAI design.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"methods\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We used PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). Six electronic databases (IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Nature) were searched for papers published between January 2015 and February 2025. Eligible studies applied explainability or interpretability methods to deep learning models for voice or speech audio in health care contexts. Risk of bias was assessed using PROBAST+AI (Prediction Model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool). The results were thematically synthesized across explainability categories, input representations, clinical domains, validation strategies, and stakeholder considerations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"results\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 30 studies met the inclusion criteria. These studies used a range of explainability approaches, including gradient-based methods, perturbation-based techniques, surrogate model\u2013based methods, model-internal representation analyses, concept-based detectors, and attention-based explanations. Applications spanned diverse clinical domains, including voice disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, psychiatric conditions, and traumatic brain injury. Overall, results indicate that most studies relied primarily on qualitative interpretation of explainability outputs, with limited quantitative validation of explanation consistency across external datasets. Furthermore, none of the included studies explicitly conducted human-in-the-loop evaluations with relevant stakeholders, highlighting a substantial gap in stakeholder alignment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Current XAI practices in clinical voice and speech analysis are limited by insufficient validation, lack of domain-specific design, and misalignment with clinical stakeholder needs. This review highlights opportunities for developing validated, audio-aware, and stakeholder-centered XAI approaches to support trustworthy clinical deployment. Interpretation of these findings should consider limitations related to single-reviewer study selection, potential high-risk of bias, and the repeated use of benchmark datasets.<\/jats:p>\n
