Effect of Wearing Different Masks on Acoustic, Aerodynamic, and Formant Parameters.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of different types of masks on acoustic, aerodynamic, and formant parameters in healthy people.

Methods: Our study involved 30 healthy participants, 15 of each gender, aged 20-40 years. The tests were conducted under four conditions: without a mask, after wearing a surgical mask, after wearing a head-mounted N95 mask, and after wearing an ear-mounted N95 mask.
