This method produces an estimate of the waveform of the pressure pulse which again inversely indicates the movements of the vocal cords. The location of the vocal cords effectively prohibits direct measurement of movement. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_analysis   (452 words)      Vocal Eyes The patient can observe the vocal folds on a monitor while the technician analyzes their movement patterns. Employers are cautioned to refer workers who exhibit hoarseness at the end of the day, repeated throat clearing, missed work time due to "laryngitis," frequent complaints of a tired voice, voice quality that varies throughout the day and throat or neck pain while talking. Lawyers, performers, coaches, politicians and salespeople all use their voices for hours at a time. http://www.bangornews.com/news/templates?a=112846&z=12   (1513 words)      ANNALS Jul1997: REINKE'S EDEMA: PHONATORY MECHANISMS AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES Furthermore, it is hypothesized that in the environment of chronic glottal mucositis secondary to smoking and reflux, the cephalad force on the vocal folds by the subglottal driving pressure contributes to the superior distention of the superficial lamina propria. This finding suggests that persistent hyperfunctional vocal behaviors may contribute to postsurgical RE recurrence if therapeutic strategies are not instituted to modify such behavior. To gain new insights into phonatory mechanisms associated with RE pathophysiology, we used an integrated battery of objective vocal function tests to analyze 20 patients (19 women) who underwent phonomicrosurgical resection. http://www.annals.com/abs/annals3.htm   (292 words)      [No title] A study on the acoustic and physiological effects of speaking voice exercises applying manipulation of the acoustic-aerodynamical state of the supraglottic space and artificially modified auditory feedback [doctoral dissertation].

It is important to verify at each clinic visit the status of the prosthetic device, and if there are any problems, to establish their exact nature. Furthermore, we found a decrease in device life and an increase in fistula-related complications in radiated patients, but these have rarely prevented the application of this prosthetic rehabilitation method in this patient category. http://www.hoofdhalskanker.info/ProvoxWeb/Troubleshooting/Introduction.htm   (840 words)      Kids.net.au - Encyclopedia Speech processing - Voice analysis for medical purposes, such as analysis of vocal loading and dysfunction of the vocal cords.

Dedicating a subsystem to the midrange solves many of the problems associated with two-way designs that place the crossover in the vocal region. Dividing the vocal range between creates power response gaps (holes in off-axis frequency response) as well as excessive distortion in just the frequency range where the ear is most sensitive to acoustical anomalies of any kind. http://www.eaw.com/technology/proprietary/va.html   (825 words)      Wikinfo Voice The tone of a piece of writing, influenced by its point of view.

The results showed that large F0 and SPL variations in speech affected the dose measures, suggesting that accumulation of phonation time alone is insufficient. The vibration exposure of the vocal folds in normal speech was related to the industrial limits for hand-transmitted vibration, in which the safe distance dose was derived to be about 500 m. http://www.asha.org/about/publications/journal-abstracts/jslhr/46/04?articleabstract=919   (335 words)      Karger Publishers The purpose of the present study was (1) to analyse the effects of a short post-loading vocal rest in terms of changes in a large variety of voice parameters and (2) to assess the possible effects of gender and exposure factors on these changes.
