Article Synopsis
- * Researchers conducted experiments with a female speaker to compare speech clarity in three conditions: no mask, an N95 mask, and an N95 mask with a face shield.
- * Results showed that the combo of an N95 mask and face shield significantly reduced speech recognition, highlighting the need for effective protective measures that do not compromise communication, especially in clinical settings.
