“…This result demonstrated that item 10 ("People have difficulty understanding me in a noisy room") of SHI, similar to the VHI question, was significantly higher in this study's current outcome, which showed the same results as a previous study [16]. In addition, the mask type and total daily use time can also contribute to higher VHI-10 scores [17].…”

Purpose: Compulsory use of masks is recommended to prevent droplet infection during the COVID-19 pandemic. This can alter optimal communication in daily life. This study compared the self-perceived speech handicap and vocal tract discomfort when wearing and not wearing a face mask and different types of face masks in a healthy population.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted via an online questionnaire. Speech Handicap Index (SHI) and Vocal Tract Discomfort Scale (VTDS) scores were collected via Google forms (Google, Mountain View, California) from 128 healthy Korean populations with and without face masks and different types of face masks.Results: While speaking with a face mask, subjects were identified with a significant lack of air, unclear articulation, and reduced speech intelligibility in a noisy situation. Although total SHI and VTDS scores exhibited slightly higher with a face mask, no significant differences were found between with and without mask conditions. For mask type, individuals who frequently wore KF94 masks subjectively perceived significantly higher speech handicap and vocal tract discomfort than surgical or fabric masks.Conclusions: In the current study, wearing a face mask did not have a significant impact on speech handicap and vocal tract discomfort in a healthy adult population during the COVID-19 pandemic period, implying people already adapted to wearing a face mask. In terms of speech problems and frequency, the severity of sensation or symptoms of vocal discomfort significantly differed depending on which face mask type they used. Future research should address self-evaluation of their feeling or experience due to face mask use, considering the elderly and patients with communication disorders who suffer more with communication in daily life.
