This paper presents the types of phonological changes which are triggered by listeners in the speech interpretation process. There are some changes which are hard to be explained in the articulatory point of view. However, it is possible that those changes are explained in the viewpoint of speech interpretation process. This paper proposes four types of the phonological changes by listeners. They are changes by misperception of phonemes, changes by misperception of phoneme sequences, changes by hypo-analysis of surface forms and changes by hyper-analysis of surface forms.
