The aim of this study is to determine to what extent the Voice Handicap Index-Norwegian (VHI-N) is scored depending on specific laryngological disease. In a multi-center study, 126 healthy subjects and 355 patients with different voice-related diseases answered the VHI-N. The VHI-N scores showed high Cronbach's alpha. Analyses of variance were performed with VHI-N dependent and specific voice-related disease as independent variable, and showed highly significant dependence by group allocation (F(7,461) = 28.0; p < 0.001). When studying post hoc analyses secondary to this ANOVA analysis, we have shown that the control group scored lower than the entire patient groups (all p < 0.001) except the dysplasia group. Aphonic patients scored higher than all the other groups (all p < 0.001) except those with spasmodic dysphonia. The cancer patient group furthermore scored lower than patient groups with recurrent palsy, dysfunctional disease or spasmodic dysphonia (all p < 0.001). In addition, patients with recurrent palsy scored higher than patients with degenerative/inflammatory disease (p < 0.001). No influences of patient age, gender, or smoking were observed in the VHI-N scores. The VHI-N is a psychometrically well-functioning instrument, also at disease-specific levels and discriminates well between health and voice diseases, as well as between different voice-related diseases. The VHI-N may be recommended to be used when monitoring voice-related disease treatment.

Translation and Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the Protocolo de Avaliação de Voz do Deficiente Auditivo (PAV-DA) into EnglishMost objective and formal instruments available for voice assessment and diagnosis used by speech-language pathologists and audiologists in Brazil are translated and adapted from a foreign language into Brazilian Portuguese, since the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of existent instruments promote a better understanding of human communication disorders. In addition, there is a paucity of instruments specifically focused on the evaluation of voice in subjects between the previous versions of the material. Finally, the consensus version was sent to the committee of experts, who rated it from zero to ten, analyzed it and suggested alterations for the consensus version. In relation to the obtained scores, the protocol itself was the best rated section (average 8.7). There was a difference among the sections rated by the Brazilians (p=0.003). The ratings for the "Presentation and Instructions" section was lower than the others. After the experts rated the material, the appropriate alterations were made. At the end of this entire process, it was possible to translate and cross-culturally adapt the material, whose final version is entitled Protocol for the Evaluation of Voice in Subjects with Hearing Impairment (PEV-SHI).

ObjectiveMuscle tension in the head and neck may co‐occur with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) possibly leading to voice change. Several studies have reported a correlation between TMD and dysphonia. However, literature on TMD and voice‐related quality of life (QOL) is scant. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between TMD and self‐perceived voice‐related QOL impairment.MethodsPatients from TMD clinic were prospectively surveyed on voice‐related quality of life using the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) questionnaire. Patients were queried using paper and pen upon initial evaluation in dentistry clinic for temporomandibular disorders by a single dentist or dental assistant in the otolaryngology department.ResultsA total of 53 patients completed the VHI. 80% of patients presenting to TMD clinic had VHI scores above zero, but most had minimal to mild impairment. Forty‐two patients had scores between 1 and 86, (average 10.98); 11 patients had a score of zero (20.75%). Total average score: 8.70, range: 0–86, median: 4. Functional average score: 3.13, range: 0–29, median: 1. Physical average score: 3.58. range: 0–25, median: 2. Emotional average score: 1.98, range: 0–32, median: 0; these averages did not differ from historical controls.ConclusionThe majority of patients presenting to TMD clinic also presented with some level of voice‐related QOL impairment, although minimal and consistent with historical VHI controls. Data indicates that TMD disease may be primarily defined as functionally and physically uncomfortable. Incorporation of interdisciplinary care, with laryngology, speech pathology, physical therapy, counseling, and pain management may be warranted.Level of Evidence4 Laryngoscope, 2023
