<i>Objective:</i> To give new insights into the pathogenesis of vocal fold nodules: (a) why female/male ratio is so extreme, (b) how an hourglass-shaped vibration pattern – eliciting a localized microtrauma originates, and (c) what roles muscular tension imbalance behavioral aspects are. <i>Materials Methods:</i> Simulations with 3-dimensional computer model vibrating folds. <i>Results Conclusion:</i> (1) A slightly incomplete dorsal adduction first...
The limit of about 5% for reliable quantification jitter in sustained vowels dysphonic voices—a widely accepted guideline—deserves critical analysis. present study pertains to the effect experience and training on perceptual (visual) capability correctly identifying periods (highly) perturbed signals, a comparison performance several programs voice Synthesized realistic (/a:/) with exactly known (2.7%–31.5%) are used as material. After selection training, experienced raters demonstrate...
This article presents a novel application of the 'single line scanning' vocal fold vibrations (kymography) in singing pedagogy, particularly specific technical voice exercise: 'messa di voce'. It aims at giving singer relevant and valid short-term feedback. A user-friendly automatic analysis program makes possible precise, immediate quantification essential physiological parameters characterizing changes glottal impedance, concomitant with progressive increase decrease lung pressure. The...
This article is a compilation of own research performed during the European COoperation in Science and Technology (COST) action 2103: 'Advance Voice Function Assessment', an initiative voice speech processing teams consisting physicists, engineers, clinicians. manuscript concerns analyzing largely irregular voicing types, namely substitution (SV) adductor spasmodic dysphonia (AdSD). A specific perceptual rating scale (IINFVo) was developed, Auditory Model Based Pitch Extractor (AMPEX), piece...
