Résumé
Examination of vocal acoustics and phonatory aerodynamics during connected speech provide a more ecologically valid approach to voice assessment than single phoneme measures. The purpose of the current investigation was to determine if differences exist in vocal acoustics and aerodynamics between reading and spontaneous speech tasks in patients with common voice disorders. The Emory University Institutional Review Board approved this retrospective study. The voice records of 100 patients (74 females and 26 males) diagnosed with benign voice disorders and referred for voice evaluation at the Emory Voice Center between November 2018 and March 2019 were analyzed. These consisted of reading a scripted passage (the Rainbow Passage) and spontaneous speech (describing how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich). Data collected included gender, voice diagnosis, mean fundamental frequency (F Univariate analysis assessed normality of the data. Variables with normal distribution utilized paired t test. Non-normal data were log transformed. Mean F This study suggests that multiple testing stimuli for phonatory aerodynamic and acoustic outcomes measurement may be appropriate for use depending on the need and vocal challenges of the individual patient. Clinically, both structured reading and spontaneous speech provide valuable insight into the vocal capabilities of the patient.
