The purpose of this paper is to examine F0, F1 and F2 frequencies of the five English vowels as produced by the HI and those of NH. Results showed that F0 was significantly higher for HI than for NH, and for females than for males. The means of F1 were significantly higher for the females than for males, and higher still for high vowels than for low vowels. By contrast, the means of F2 were significantly higher for the HI group than for NH; F2 was higher for females than for males, and higher for front vowels than back vowels. For the Euclidean distance between vowels on the F1-F2 acoustic space, significant differences for Hearing Level and Gender were found; specifically, the distance was shorter for HI than for NH, and for males than for females. In this study, F0, F2 and F2-F1, not F1, showed the distinctive acoustic characteristic between these two groups.
