Voice Evaluations and Tests
- Laryngeal Videostroboscopy
Videostroboscopy provides a view of your vocal folds
and larynx. A special light and camera capture and digitally record a slow motion version of the rapid vocal fold movement
during voicing, speaking or singing.
- Aerodynamic and Acoustic Analysis
As you speak and extend
sounds into a microphone, these instruments translate the sound into such
factors as hoarseness levels, pitch, and loudness providing both a visual and
numerical screen display. This allows a voice specialist to determine how well
your systems of voice production are functioning and the severity levels of
your hoarseness.
- Nasometry
Impaired voice quality may be a result of impairment
in the functioning of the soft palate, which may in turn cause speech to sound
either hyponasal or hypernasal. This sometimes occurs in adults with
neurological conditions, but is most often seen in children who have been born
with a cleft palate or velopharyngeal incompetence (VPI). It can also be due to
mis-learning of the production of some speech sounds. Nasometry measures the amount of sound moving
through the nose during speech and during the production of specific speech
sounds and compares this to normal levels.
