Ikuma, Takeshi; McWhorter, Andrew J.; Adkins, Lacey; Kunduk, Melda – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Vocal fold asymmetry creates irregular entrainments and modulations in voice, which may lead to rough perceptual quality. The presence of asymmetry can also cause mid-phonation bifurcations where a small change in the phonatory system causes a drastic change in vibration pattern, resulting in transitions in and out of rough voice. This…

Motie-Shirazi, Mohsen; Zañartu, Matías; Peterson, Sean D.; Mehta, Daryush D.; Hillman, Robert E.; Erath, Byron D. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The goal of this study was to experimentally evaluate how compensating for the adverse acoustic effects of a posterior glottal opening (PGO) by increasing subglottal pressure and changing supraglottal compression, as have been associated with vocal hyperfunction, influences the risk of vocal fold (VF) trauma. Method: A self-oscillating…

Van Stan, Jarrad H.; Mehta, Daryush D.; Ortiz, Andrew J.; Burns, James A.; Marks, Katherine L.; Toles, Laura E.; Stadelman-Cohen, Tara; Krusemark, Carol; Muise, Jason; Hron, Tiffiny; Zeitels, Steven M.; Fox, Annie B.; Hillman, Robert E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: This study attempts to gain insights into the role of daily voice use in the etiology and pathophysiology of phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction (PVH) by applying a logistic regression-based daily phonotrauma index (DPI) to predict group-based improvements in patients with PVH after laryngeal surgery and/or postsurgical voice therapy.…

Lukaschyk, Julia; Abel, Jakob; Brockmann-Bauser, Meike; Keilmann, Annerose; Braun, Angelika; Rohlfs, Anna-Katharina – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The Vocal Tract Discomfort Scale (VTD Scale) is a self-rating questionnaire investigating physical symptoms in the larynx associated with vocal pathology. The aim of this work was to investigate the reliability, validity, sensitivity, and specificity of the first German version and to provide normative data with thresholds for pathology…

Van Stan, Jarrad H.; Ortiz, Andrew J.; Cortes, Juan P.; Marks, Katherine L.; Toles, Laura E.; Mehta, Daryush D.; Burns, James A.; Hron, Tiffiny; Stadelman-Cohen, Tara; Krusemark, Carol; Muise, Jason; Fox-Galalis, Annie B.; Nudelman, Charles; Zeitels, Steven; Hillman, Robert E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the pathophysiology and impact on daily voice use of nonphonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction (NPVH). Method: An ambulatory voice monitor collected 1 week of data from 36 patients with NPVH and 36 vocally healthy matched controls. A subset of 11 patients with NPVH…

Galindo, Gabriel E.; Peterson, Sean D.; Erath, Byron D.; Castro, Christian; Hillman, Robert E.; Zañartu, Matías – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: Our goal was to test prevailing assumptions about the underlying biomechanical and aeroacoustic mechanisms associated with phonotraumatic lesions of the vocal folds using a numerical lumped-element model of voice production. Method: A numerical model with a triangular glottis, posterior glottal opening, and arytenoid posturing is…
