The present study investigated changes in the prosodic and acoustic-phonetic features of isolated words by four male talkers speaking in quite and in pink noise at a level of 95 dB SPL. Speech samples were collected both with and without an oxygen mask. Changes in duration, fundamental frequency, total energy, and formant center frequency were analyzed. In addition to the expected changes of increased pitch and amplitude associated with speaking in noise without an oxygen mask, significant effects were found (particularly in the formant center frequencies) as a result of using the oxygen mask. When the oxygen mask was employed, no further significant changes were caused by adding noise to the speaking situation.
