Teach the Speaker to Speak up and Slow Down
• “Earplug effect” refers to the reduction in speech levels by 3 to 4 dB when speaking in noise
• Speakers wearing HPDs talk about 20% faster in noise than in quiet
• Combination of these effects can reduce intelligibility by about 15%
Training Videos• Berger and Kladden (1998) - over 50 films
• NHCA Spectrum - reviews in each issue
• Use judiciously
• Preview films, be prepared
• Excerpt films as appropriate
• Some of the best films are actually fun
