%X Although the telephone band (0.3-3 kHz) provides sufficient information for speech recognition, the contribution of the non-telephone band (<0.3 and >3 kHz) is unclear. To investigate its contribution, speech intelligibility and talker identification were evaluated using consonants, vowels, and sentences. The non-telephone band produced relatively good intelligibility for consonants (76.0%) and sentences (77.4%), but not vowels (11.5%). The non-telephone band supported good talker identification only with sentences (74.5%), but not vowels (45.8%) or consonants (10.8%). Furthermore, the non-telephone band cannot produce satisfactory speech intelligibility in noise at the sentence level, suggesting the importance of full-band access in realistic listening.
