OBJECTIVE
To predict the impact of face personal protective equipment on verbal communication during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
DESIGN
We assessed the effect of common types and combinations of face personal protective equipment on speech intelligibility in quiet and in a simulated noisy environment.
RESULTS
Wearing face personal protective equipment impairs transmission of middle-to-high voice frequencies and affects speech intelligibility. Surgical masks are responsible for up to 23.3% loss of speech intelligibility in noisy environments. The effects are larger in the condition of advanced face personal protective equipment, accounting for up to 69.0% reduction of speech intelligibility.
CONCLUSION
The use of face personal protective equipment causes significant verbal communication issues. Healthcare workers, school-aged children, and people affected by voice and hearing disorders may represent specific at-risk groups for impaired speech intelligibility.
目的
预测在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间面部个人防护装备对言语交流的影响。
设计
我们评估了常见类型及组合的面部个人防护装备在安静和模拟嘈杂环境中对言语清晰度的影响。
结果
佩戴面部个人防护装备会损害中高频语音的传播，并影响言语清晰度。在嘈杂环境中，外科口罩导致的言语清晰度损失高达23.3%。在使用高级面部个人防护装备的情况下，影响更大，言语清晰度降低可达69.0%。
结论
使用面部个人防护装备会导致严重的言语交流问题。医护人员、学龄儿童以及患有语音和听力障碍的人群可能是言语清晰度受损的特定高危群体。
