Blind listeners significantly outperformed sighted listeners when the speech recordings were presented in studio quality. For recordings in mobile phone quality or of whispering voices, blind and sighted listeners achieved similar results. The data can be used as reference material for real cases with blind earwitnesses. Furthermore, it is discussed whether blind individuals are particularly suitable to work as forensic audio analysts for law enforcement agencies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Contents \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForensic speaker identification\/speaker recognition\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarwitness memory of blind and sighted listeners\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlind listeners' auditory abilities and sensory compensation\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParameters which influence listeners' speaker identification abilities\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIssues to consider when creating a forensic phonetic voice lineup \/ voice parade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTarget Groups \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResearchers and students in the field of (forensic) Phonetics, Psychology (person\/voice recognition) and Law\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForensic Phoneticians\/Speech Scientists, staff of Criminal Police Offices, members of the International Association for Forensic Phonetics and Acoustics\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Author \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlmut Braun was a doctoral candidate in the Department of Phonetics at Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany.
