The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a worldwide pandemic associated with more than 241 million infected individuals and 4.9 million deaths. In most healthcare facilities, personal protective equipment (PPE) measures are important to protect healthcare workers, and include the hand disinfection and the use of masks. The use of filtering facepiece 2 (FFP2) or surgical masks was implemented in many countries for citizens and remains an important rule, in conjunction with ongoing vaccination campaigns. In the present study, we assessed the impact of surgical mask (SM) on voice quality analyses. Precisely, we compared the acoustic parameter findings of healthy participants according to the use of surgical mask through a cross-over study.
