چکیده

We investigated how hoarseness effects perceived hypernasality ratings in order to make a rating scale for hoarse voices. Thirty stimuli, of which 18 were target stimuli (three each for voices with and without hoarseness at three levels of hypernasality), and of which 12 were foil stimuli. These voices were listened to by four experienced speech pathologists. They were asked to rate hypernasality on 5-point scale. Perceived hypernasality decreased with hoarseness for a severely hypernasal voice, but results varied among the listeners for voices with no and moderate hypernasality.

The Relation between Perceived Hypernasality of Cleft Palate Speech and Its Hoarseness

Formerly, we had reported that rating hypernasality of speech in cleft palate patients is affected by the presence of hoarseness, especially “rough hoarseness”. In the present study, we further investigated the effects of “breathy hoarseness”, something frequently observed in cleft palate children, on the rating of hypernasality. We also controlled the degree of breathiness by adding harmonic c...

Dysphonia subsequent to severe traumatic brain injury: comparative perceptual, acoustic and electroglottographic analyses.

We tested the applicability of the Goettinger Hoarseness Diagram (GHD) for quantitative evaluation of voice disorders after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and compared the obtained data with those from established voice analysis systems such as the Multi-Dimensional Voice Program (MDVP), electroglottography (EGG) and perceptual ratings using sustained vowel productions from 10 patients wit...

Prosthodontic Rehabilitation of Arabic Speaking Individuals with Velopharyngeal Incompetence: A Preliminary Study

BACKGROUND Hypernasality is a frequently encountered problem in the speech of individuals with velopharyngeal incompetence. The use of palatal lift appliance (PLA) is the main treatment option for correction of velopharyngeal incompetence. The literature on the outcomes of using prosthetics treatment for Arabic speaking patients is scarce. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate th...

Spectral characteristics of hypernasality in maxillectomy patients.

To reveal the acoustic characteristics associated with hypernasality and to ascertain their correlation to the severity of hypernasality, 30 speech samples produced by 15 maxillectomy patients were acoustically analysed with and without an obturator prosthesis in place. The isolated, sustained Japanese vowel /i/ was used as the stimulus for acoustic measurement and perceptual judgment to evalua...

The relationship between spectral characteristics and perceived hypernasality in children.

The purpose of this study was to quantify perceived hypernasality in children. One-third octave spectra of the isolated vowel [i] were obtained from 32 children with cleft palate and 5 children without cleft palate. Four experienced listeners rated the severity of hypernasality of the 37 speech samples using a 6-point equal-appearing interval scale. When the average 1/3-octave spectra from the ...
