I Marked your post as "funny." 
(I'll esplain later)
To answer the OP! Why yes! Yes He does! Thanks for being inquisitive enough to ask! If God speaks to you? Then, you are not alone!
There is, and are, YUUGE GAPS, between, those that God reveals Himself TO, and those who "teach/preach" concerning (drum roll, with a "thunderous" reverb setting on the PA) "The REVEALED WORD.....of God!!!"
Most of the latter, are driven/striven practitioners of vainful, and profane efforts, to the subverting of the "hearers", giving cause in the "rising" of ungodliness WITHIN the very churches of stone, themselves! Which, virtually "rolls out the red carpet", for "cessessionists!" Inasmuch, as it makes for a Nice, quiet, and peaceful place, to further their collective causes! Which is, rendering people's faith, and hearts, as "while, somewhat an enemy?" "They have "registered themselves", as CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS!" "And, therefore, NO ONE to be feared!" In the "Army of God? CASUALTIES of War! Stony grounded believer's, with no "depth of root", having not the "stomach" for WAR!
Scripture could be enough, if it weren't for "Oppressors!" But, as it has been, and is still? WITHOUT Gods' Spirit, not striving with mans' spirit? The "scriptures", are as much a "sealed" book, with so many "unlearned men", in vainful pursuits of some educated "empirical" calling? In their "sticking in their "thumbs", pulling out a "plum", and, declaring: "What a GOOD BOY am I!"
That is why I found your post to be so "funny."

You would probably find something, like this!
1 Corinthians 10
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
BUT? There IS "some" creedence, to the saying: THAT, which DOESN'T KILL ya? Makes ya stronger!
Just the same....I wouldn't recommend tossing yer Bible to the curb!

I can tell you that God's Spirit would not lead a saved child of God to say something as foolish as the following.........

How shall they hear except one be sent <---the word of God is SPOKEN every time it is preached and or proclaimed from the streets to the pulpit.....
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
The word of God is SPOKEN by the above MEN who GOD calls, qualifies and USES to proclaim his written WORD^^^^^^^^
The OP is ridiculous and goes to seed on one word while disregarding the fact that the word of God in the bible, preached from the pulpits and or proclaimed in witnessing is SPOKEN...........
PREACH the word in season and out of season <---SPOKEN by TIMOTHY as a YOUNG PASTOR in Ephesus

One might as well try explaining "beige" to one born blind as try explaining "hearing the voice of the Lord" to those who believe He only speaks through the Bible. At least the blind might be willing to listen instead of arguing.
To those who don't believe that He speaks outside of Scripture: just because you haven't been to Greenland doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Scripture records many instances of God speaking directly to individuals outside of then-existing Scripture. If all Scripture is for our instruction, then is it possible that those records are there to instruct us that... God speaks outside of Scripture?

might be time to review the op
does God speak to you? sounds great, right?
but then we come up with
how do you listen to God by putting aside your Bible?
might have been a bit of fluff to get to that statement, but there it is
personally, I can't get past that and God has and does speak to me..a few times audibly and I don't care what you think about that
He never told me to ditch my Bible though. quite the opposite in fact
so, what is the op about then? hearing from God or following a voice apart from scripture?

S
Are you now suggesting that we ignore the truth taught in the Bible for some new revelation that God SPOKE to you.
God speaks to me every day through His holy Word. I have never heard His voice and neither have you.
If you are hearing voices you might want to seek some professional help.

Yes, many people have Bibles... and the one's reading and studying the Bible are learning and growing and it does them a great deal of good.
The Bible is the Word of God and the standard. We are instructed to test the Spirits...How would you suggest doing that without the clear Word of God the Bible.
You throw it away then there is no standard and people will be doing whatever and maybe listening to the other voice not even knowing it...because they have no standard to hold it up against.
When tempted by the Devil even Jesus answered back with the scriptures...He said It is Written...

Actually, we don't "test the spirits" using the Bible directly; we test them by demanding whether they acknowledge that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. However, we would not know to do that without the Bible.
So the Bible is the Standard....
The Bereans knew this and used the scriptures as a standard to ascertain if what Paul and Silas were saying was the truth.
Acts 17
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
