Objective This study examines the Turkish validity, reliability and diagnostic performance of the Voice Handicap Index-Partner (VHI-P-TR), which is used to obtain the perceptions of communication partners of individuals with dysphonia about the functional, physical and emotional handicap resulting from the patient experiencing dysphonia. Method Th...

Purpose: This study examined and compared the diagnostic accuracy and correlation levels of the acoustic parameters of the audio recordings obtained from smartphones on two operating systems and from dynamic and condenser types of external microphones. Method: The study included 87 adults: 57 with voice disorder and 30 with a healthy voice. Each p...

Objective. As in many health care fields, it is essential to establish clinical standards for voice assessments; however, some individual characteristics of clinicians, such as their personalities, may affect assessment reliability. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between the personality traits and cognitive emotion regulati...

Objective: This study analyzes the effects of the vocal exercises called semi-occluded nasal tract exercises (SONTEs), which were carried out with a new appliance that extends the nasal cavity as a part of the vocal tract. The acoustic, aerodynamic and electroglottographic (EGG) measurements were compared with those of the traditional semi-occlude...

Objective This study investigated the immediate effects and their persistence (at 15 minutes) of various durations of semi-occluded vocal tract exercise (SOVTE) (standard tube into water and modified mask+tube into water exercises) as measured by electroglottographic (EGG) and nasometric parameters. Methods The study included 30 women aged 19 thro...

Objective Within the scope of semi-occluded vocal tract exercises (SOVTEs), we aimed to examine the effects of four exercise combinations, which involved various fluid densities and tube submersion depths, on acoustic and electroglottographic (EGG) parameters. Methods Four procedures (P) were applied consecutively to 30 female participants with nor...

Objective To examine the power of the parameters obtained from different sustained vowels used in acoustic and electroglottographic (EGG) voice evaluation protocols to discriminate between dysphonic and non-dysphonic voice quality. Methods Sixty non-dysphonic participants and 30 dysphonic participants were included in the study. In addition to the...

Objective: Electroglottography (EGG) is an instrumental measurement technique that provides a relative measure of the contact area between vocal folds. It is important to examine whether this measurement provides reliable data in Turkish. The aim of this study is to determine the level of reliability of EGG measurements made at different times rela...

Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the relationships between Multi-Dimensional Voice Program (MDVP) and Electroglottograph (EGG) measurement results of female individuals that are grouped according to their body mass index (BMI). Material and Methods: 96 women who are at the ages between 18-25 have participated.Participants were divided into...

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between nasometer measurement parameters, one of the acoustic evaluation batteries, and Body Mass Index (BMI). Material and Method: 94 female participants with healthy voices between the ages of 18-25 were divided into 4 BMI groups, namely weak (n=20), normal (n=30), overweight (n=20)...
