McKenna, Victoria S.; Hylkema, Jennifer A.; Tardif, Monique C.; Stepp, Cara E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: This study examined vocal hyperfunction (VH) using voice onset time (VOT). We hypothesized that speakers with VH would produce shorter VOTs, indicating increased laryngeal tension, and more variable VOTs, indicating disordered vocal motor control. Method: We enrolled 32 adult women with VH (aged 20-74 years) and 32 age- and sex-matched…

Stepp, Cara E.; Hillman, Robert E.; Heaton, James T. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2010
Purpose: This study tested the hypothesis that individuals with vocal hyperfunction would show decreases in relative fundamental frequency (RFF) surrounding a voiceless consonant. Method: This retrospective study of 2 clinical databases used speech samples from 15 control participants and women with hyperfunction-related voice disorders: 82 prior…
