The Norms for German HINT with a female speaker are comparable to the norms of the HINT with a male speaker. The speech intelligibility score of the HINT does not depend on the speakers' gender despite significant difference of acoustic-phonetic parameters between the female and male HINT speaker's voice. Instead, the speech intelligibility rating must be seen as a function of the used speech material.
