Doyle, Philip C.; Damrose, Edward J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The literature on postlaryngectomy voice and speech rehabilitation is long-standing. Although multiple rehabilitation options have existed over the years, the acquisition and use of esophageal speech (ES) has decreased significantly over the past 40 years. This reduction coincides with the increased application of tracheoesophageal…

Desjardins, Maude; Apfelbach, Christopher; Rubino, Marianna; Abbott, Katherine Verdolini – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Despite the high prevalence of primary muscle tension dysphonia (MTD-1), its underlying mechanisms and their interrelationships have yet to be fully identified. The objectives of this integrative review were (a) to describe and classify the suggested underlying mechanisms for MTD-1, (b) to appraise the empirical evidence supporting each…

Louise C. Occomore-Kent; John C. Hardman; Justin W. G. Roe; Paula Bradley; Paul N. Carding; Joanne M. Patterson – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: Over 200,000 patients are referred onto the suspected head and neck cancer (HNC) pathway annually in the UK, with around 3% receiving a cancer diagnosis. With new HNC advancements in identifying patients at low risk of a cancer diagnosis, one proposal is a speech and language therapy (SLT)-led first point of contact clinic for low-risk…

Higgins, Ashley N.; Richardson, Kelly C. – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2019
The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine speech characteristics in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) before and after participation in an 11-week choral singing intervention. Speech characteristics were analyzed using an acoustic measure of vowel space area (VSA) and a standardized speech intelligibility metric. Participants…

Ziegler, Aaron; Van Swearingen Jessie; Jakicic, John M.; Abbott, Katherine Verdolini – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: This study investigated whether metabolic respiratory requirements (treadmill workload) affected glottal valving in phonation, based on aerodynamic measures, when a sound pressure level (vocal SPL) is dictated as a target goal. Consistent with a theory of action, we hypothesized that adjustments in glottal valving as measured by laryngeal…

van Rossum, M. A.; van As-Brooks, C. J.; Hilgers, F. J. M.; Roozen, M. – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2009
Glottal stops are conveyed by an abrupt constriction at the level of the glottis. Tracheoesophageal (TE) speakers are known to have poor control over the new voice source (neoglottis), and this might influence the production of "glottal" stops. This study investigated how TE speakers realized "glottal" stops in abutting words…
