Studies suggest that singers are over-represented in voice clinics and present a high risk of developing voice disorders. This retrospective study aims to describe the characteristics of 78 singers consulting a phoniatrician. In their medical files, data related to age, gender, occupational status, singing training, musical style, voice complaint, diagnosis, voice-quality grading (GRBAS) and treatment were gathered.

Materials And Methods: The study involved electroglottographic, acoustic, and aerodynamic analyses of shouts produced at maximum effort by three male participants.
Results And Discussion: Under a normal speaking voice, the voice sound pressure level (SPL) is proportional to the subglottic pressure.
Objectives: The purposes of this study were to compare, from an acoustic approach, the voice of cochlear-implanted children and the one of deaf children using conventional hearing aids (HA) to a control group; to characterize, from an aerodynamic approach, the voice of congenital/prelingual profound deaf children wearing cochlear implants for at least 3 years and implanted before 3 years old; and to classify, from a perceptual approach, the voice of implanted children, of fitted children with conventional HA, and of normal hearing (NH) children as "normal or dysphonic voices."
Methods: We analyzed 78 voices of children aged 5-13 years using EVA 2 workstation: 38 children with NH, 40 deaf children wearing HA and cochlear implants for at least 3 years and being implanted before 3 years old. Acoustic parameters were measured from a sustained vowel /a/ and speech production and aerodynamic parameters from a set of 10 syllables /pa/.
