Voice Disorders Exam 1
1. occurs when voice quality, pitch, and loudness differ or are inappropriate
for an individual's age, gender, cultural background, or geographic location:
voice disorder
2. when evaluating voice disorders we consider the following components:
: auditory-perceptual (sound)
physiological
(operates) functional
(performs)
3. percentage of population who currently has a given disorder: incidence
4. percent of the population who have ever had a given disorder: prevalence
5. there has been a(n) prevalence of voice disorders; in 2012, %, in
2022, %: increased
7.6
12.2
6. fraction of individuals who sought therapy: 5.1% out of 12.2%
7. incidence and prevalence vary depending on age, gender, occupation:
more likely to report vocal issues (females = %, males = %)
and chronic voice disorders (>weeks): females
46.3
36.9

8. wide range of incidence in children reported: 1.4-6%
9. incidence of adults with current voice problem = %
prevalence of adults with voice problem during lifetime = %:
6.6 30
10.high occupational risk jobs: service industry, manufacturing,
teachers (I = 11%, P = 57%)
11. older adults:
incidence = %, prevalence = %
institutionalized older adults = %
community-based older adults = %: 4.8-

12.an unremarkable voice--neither particularly good nor bad, meets the
de- mands of the speaker, no obvious threats to long-term function:
typical
, Voice Disorders Exam 1
13.a remarkable beautiful, expressive, skilled voice: supernormal
14.a voice that currently exhibits problems which are attributed to
temporary conditions: marginal
, Voice Disorders Exam 1
15.beyond a perceptual or functional threshold: abnormal
16.characteristics of voice: quality, pitch, loudness,
endurance/durability, reso- nance, perspective
17.considers the pleasantness, clarity, smoothness, steadiness, ease of
pro- duction of voice: quality
18.degree to which there is a tone-like character to the voice without
extrane- ous noise: clarity
19.the perceived central level around which the voice goes up and down as
the musical scale; perceptual correlate of average fundamental frequency:
pitch
20. fluctuation in and conveys meaning, attitudes,
emotions: -
pitch, loudness
21. listener interprets
pitch/loudness fluctuation as and related to
situation: intentional, communicative
22. perceived overall power of the sound; perceptual correlate of intensity: -
loudness
23.the ability to maintain phonation over a normal period of time under
typical conditions: endurance/durability
24.appropriate balance of nasal and oral sound: resonance
25.insufficient nasal resonance on nasal sounds: hyponasal
26.excessive nasal resonance on oral sounds such as vowel: hypernasal
27.oral resonance can be too far or : forward, backward
28.any objective evidence or manifestation of an illness or disordered
func- tion; characteristics that can be observed or measures through
testing: sign (listener)
29.a complaint from the patient's perspective, can be heard or felt:
symptom (patient)
30.importance of voice: reveals our physical/emotional health,
personality, and meanings
31.how it was understood: connotative
32.what was actually meant: denotative
33.a voice disorder is when an individual expresses concern about
having an abnormal voice that does not meet daily needs even if others do
not perceive it as different or deviant: present
34.ICF WHO Model: identification of etiology, personal reactions,
environment, activity limitation, participation restriction
35.the study of structures: anatomy
