“…The exaggerated visual cues would also help listeners to attend to the correct speaker/auditory stream in the presence of competing speech. Recently, Cohn et al (2021) found improved word recognition in the auditory-only domain for low predictability sentences produced clearly with fabric masks and presented to listeners in four-talker babble at −6 dB SNR. Furthermore, clear speech produced with a mask was more intelligible than clear speech produced without a mask, suggesting that the acoustic-phonetic modifications differed in response to a cloth face mask compared to no mask.…”

“…One aspect in which our study is unique is in the stimuli that we used. We deliberately opted to use an essay rather than sentences or words as used in the studies discussed above (e.g., Truong et al , 2021 ; Cohn et al , 2021 ). While we gave up control of context and of word repetition and frequency, we wanted to see how talker characteristics, masks, and speaking styles affect communication in a more naturalistic listening environment, such as when students learn new concepts and unfamiliar content in the classroom setting or when patients need to understand and remember discharge instructions, situations where all of these factors interact to shape comprehension.…”

“…Facial masks are indeed a barrier that impair speech production and perception, make lip reading impossible and facial expressions not visible: consequently, any additional clue to hearing perception is in the end missing. In addition, face masks make it difficult to read emotions from facial expression [3] and communication seem to be further limited in emotional conditions [4].…”

“…Magee et al 19 also found no signi cant effects of masks (N95, surgical, and cloth mask) on intelligibility for both single word and sentences of the Assessment of Intelligibility of Dysarthria Speech 20 . Cohn et al 21 found that the intelligibility of speech produced with facemasks was determined by speaking style rather than the effects of a mask. They showed that in the clear speaking style, speech in the mask condition was more intelligible than that in the non-mask condition.…”
