“…Among nonhabitual conditions, both measures of F0 tended to be maximized in the hearing impaired condition, followed by the overenunciate condition and then the clear condition. Sentence-level F0 range has further been proposed to be of perceptual importance, whereby narrower ranges have been associated with a decrease in intelligibility (Binns & Culling, 2007;Bunton, Kent, Kent, & Rosenbek, 2000;Laures & Bunton, 2003;Laures & Weismer, 1999;Miller, Schlauch, & Watson, 2010;Mori, Kobayashi, Kasuya, Kobayashi, & Hirose, 2005;Spitzer, Liss, & Mattys, 2007;Watson & Schlauch, 2008). Thus, further investigating the acoustic-perceptual relationship between F0 and intelligibility is of importance in identifying the clear speech variants that best maximize intelligibility.…”
