Background: While several acoustic voice metrics are available for clinical voice assessment, there remains a significant need for reliable and ecologically valid tools. The Acoustic Voice Quality Index version 03.01 (AVQI-3) and Acoustic Breathiness Index (ABI) hold potential due to their comprehensive assessment approach, incorporating diverse voice aspects.

- This study investigates the effects of sidetone amplification via bone conduction on individuals with voice disorders, focusing on how it impacts their voice performance and effort levels.
- Participants' speech was recorded under three different feedback conditions, allowing researchers to assess changes in vocal quality and effort using various acoustic measures.
- Findings indicate that high levels of sidetone amplification significantly lowered participants' sound pressure levels and pitch strength, suggesting potential benefits for those with specific voice disorders, although vocal effort ratings showed no significant change.
Objectives/hypothesis: To investigate the relationship of throat pain and dysphonia.
Study Design: Prospective cohort study.
Methods: Forty-five subjects presenting with hyoid bone syndrome (HBS) and dysphonia were asked to rate their pain on a numerical rating scale and complete the 10-item Voice-Related Quality of Life (V-RQOL) questionnaire prior to and at 1-week follow-up after treatment with triamcinolone injection into the attachments to the affected greater cornu(s).
Introduction: Since the beginning of the new pandemic, Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) health services have had to face a new scenario. Voice therapy faces a double challenge, interventions using telepractice, and delivering rehabilitation services to a growing population of patients at risk of functional impairment related to the COVID-19 disease. Moreover, as COVID-19 is transmitted through droplets, it is critical to understand how to mitigate these risks during assessment and treatment.
