title: The effects of listening conditions on speech rating obtained in a clinical setting.
abstract: The effects of listening conditions on speech ratings from trained listeners were assessed in a clinical setting. The listening conditions were: (1) while face-to-face with the patient; (2) while observing the patient through a mirror and listening via a sound system; and (3) while listening to a tape recording of the patient. Analysis of 100 patients rated under each listening condition revealed no significant condition effects for resonance and articulation judgments. Voice ratings in the face-to-face condition were different from those made in the other conditions.
