Objectives
This study explored the effects of different face masks on school-age childrens and young adults word recognition. Design Speech recognition thresholds were measured adaptively in a two-talker speech masker using a closed-set picture pointing task. Target words were recorded by a female talker in five conditions: no mask, transparent mask, face shield, N95 mask and surgical mask. Study samples Thirty children (812 years) and 25 adults (1825 years) with normal hearing. Results Both childrens and adults word recognition was most negatively impacted by the face shield. Childrens recognition was also impaired by the transparent mask. No negative effects were observed for the N95 or surgical mask for either age group. Conclusion School-age children, like young adults, are negatively affected by face masks when recognising speech in a two-talker speech masker, but the effects depend on the type of face mask being worn. Acoustic analyses suggest that the reflective materials used for masks impact speech signal quality and impair word recognition. |
