Voice change is often the first sign of laryngeal cancer, leading to diagnosis through hospital laryngoscopy. Screening for laryngeal cancer solely based on voice could enhance early detection. However, identifying voice indicators specific to laryng...

PURPOSE: Although different factors and voice measures have been associated with phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction (PVH), it is unclear what percentage of individuals with PVH exhibit such differences during their daily lives. This study used a mach...

Vocal intensity is quantified by sound pressure level (SPL). The SPL can be measured by either using a sound level meter or by comparing the energy of the recorded speech signal with the energy of the recorded calibration tone of a known SPL. Neither...

The electroglottographic (EGG) signal offers a non-invasive approach to analyze phonation. It is known, if not obvious, that the onset of vocal fold contacting has a substantial effect on how the vocal folds vibrate and on the quality of the voice. G...
