Park, Yeonggwang; Anand, Supraja; Kopf, Lisa M.; Shrivastav, Rahul; Eddins, David A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Dysphonic voices typically present multiple voice quality dimensions. This study investigated potential interactions between perceived breathiness and roughness and their contributions to overall dysphonia severity. Method: Synthetic stimuli based on four talkers were created to systematically map out potential interactions. For each…

Pasquale Bottalico; Silvia Murgia; Taylor Mekus; Mary Flaherty – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2023
Purpose: The purpose of this project is to assess the acoustical conditions in which optimal intelligibility and low listening difficulty can be achieved in real classrooms for elementary students, taking into consideration the effects of dysphonic voice and typical classroom noise. Method: Speech intelligibility tests were performed in six…

Ma, Estella P.-M.; Tse, Mandy M.-S.; Momenian, Mohammad; Pu, Dai; Chen, Felix F. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effects of dysphonic voice on speech intelligibility in Cantonese-speaking adults. Method: Speech recordings from three speakers with dysphonia secondary to phonotrauma and three speakers with healthy voices were presented to 30 healthy listeners (15 men and 15 women; M[subscript age] = 22.7 years) under…

Stepp, Cara E.; Sawin, Devon E.; Eadie, Tanya L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2012
Purpose: In this study, the authors aimed to determine the relationship between relative fundamental frequency (RFF) and listener perception of vocal effort in individuals with varying degrees of vocal hyperfunction. Method: Thirty women diagnosed with voice disorders commonly associated with vocal hyperfunction and 10 healthy women provided…

Eadie, Tanya L.; Kapsner-Smith, Mara – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2011
Purpose: To determine the effect of auditory anchors on judgments of overall severity (OS) and vocal effort (VE) in dysphonic speech when judgments are made by experienced and inexperienced listeners, and when self-rated by individuals with dysphonia (speaker-listeners). Method: Twenty individuals with dysphonia and 4 normal controls provided…

Blaustein, Steven; Bar, Asher – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1983
The perceptual assessment of voice disorders by speech pathologists and interjudge reliability were investigated through screening of 160 children (4-14 years old). Results demonstrated poor interjudge agreement between the listeners and indicate a need for more objective measures in the identification of voice disorders. (Author/SEW)

Lass, Norman J.; And Others – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1991
This investigation compared 19 adolescents' perceptions of the nonspeech personality characteristics of voice-disordered and normal-speaking children. Listeners, who rated recorded speech samples, showed a significant tendency to judge the normal speakers more positively than the voice-disordered speakers. Results suggest developmental trends in…
