“…While a thorough auditory-perceptual assessment is indispensable and supersedes any instrumental measures [1], quantitative instrumental measures serve to corroborate and augment the perceptual assessment [5,6]. A commonly used instrumental adjunct to the assessment of oral-nasal balance is the nasalance measure obtained with a nasometer or similar instrument.…”

Objective: Normative data were established for newly developed speech materials for nasalance assessment in Brazilian Portuguese. Materials and Methods: Nasalance scores of preexisting passages (oral ZOO-BR, low-pressure oral ZOO-BR2 and NASAL-BR), new nasalance passages (oral Dudu no zoológico, oral Dudu no bosque, oral-nasal O cãozinho Totó and nasal O nenê) and Brasilcleft articulation screening sentences were collected from 245 speakers of Brazilian Portuguese, including 121 males and 124 females, divided into 4 groups: children (5-9 years), adolescents (10-19 years), young adults (20-24 years) and adults (25-35 years). Results: Across all nasalance passages, adult females scored on average 2 percentage points higher than males. Children scored 2-4 percentage points lower than older groups for the preexisting nasalance passages ZOO-BR and ZOO-BR2. Nasalance scores for the new nasalance passages were not significantly different from the preexisting passages. Scores for high-pressure sentences did not differ significantly from the oral nasalance passage Dudu no bosque. Conclusion: The nasalance scores for the new nasalance passages were equivalent to the preexisting materials. The new shortened and simplified nasalance passages will be useful for assessing young children. Normative scores for the Brasilcleft high-pressure sentences were equivalent to the new oral passage Dudu no bosque.

“…Video recordings (not available in this study) may favor the identification of some co-productions of this nature, since the visual context of place of articulation can be combined to the auditory-perceptual information 22 . Some productions which may not be observed, even when combining the auditory-perceptual to the visual-perceptual ratings, still may be captured by the equipment 23 .…”

Nasalância na presença e ausência da fricativa faríngea

Purpose: to compare nasalance scores between speech samples with and without pharyngeal fricative and with and without hypernasality. Methods: a total of 840 speech samples was analyzed in this study. The samples were rated by three experienced judges with consensus regarding the aspects of hypernasality and pharyngeal fricative. The ratings were distributed into 4 groups: G1: 255 samples rated as representative of presence of hypernasality; G2: 130 samples rated as representative of use of pharyngeal fricative and hypernasality; G3: 280 samples rated as representative of normal speech for speakers with history of cleft palate; G4: 175 samples rated as representative of normal speech for speakers without history of cleft palate. Satistical analysis involved the Kruskal-Wallis test and when significant difference was found Dunn's test was used to compared pairs of data.Results: the ratings established with agreement between the 3 experienced judges allowed for the identification of the samples representative of use of pharyngeal fricative and hypernasal speech. Nasalance scores were establish for each group revealing a significant difference between groups G1+G2 (representative of speech errors) and groups G3+G4 (representative of normal speech). The difference between the group with hypernasality (G1) and the group with pharyngeal fricative (G2) was not significant. Conclusion: the use of pharyngeal fricative did not significantly influence nasalance values for the studied sample. Keywords: Cleft Palate; Velopharyngeal Insufficiency; Speech; Reproducibility of Tests RESUMO Objetivo: comparar os valores de nasalância em amostras de fala com e sem o uso de fricativa faríngea e, também, com e sem hipernasalidade. Métodos: um total de 840 amostras de fala foi analisado neste estudo. As amostras foram julgadas por três juízas experientes por consenso quanto aos aspectos hipernasalidade e fricativa faríngea. Os julgamentos foram distribuídos em quatro grupos: G1: 255 amostras de fala julgadas como representativas de hipernasalidade; G2: 130 amostras julgadas como representativas do uso de fricativa faríngea e hipernasalidade; G3: 280 amostras julgadas como representativas de fala normal em falantes com história de fissura labiopalatina; G4: 175 amostras julgadas como representativas de fala normal em falantes sem história de fissura labiopalatina. Para análise dos dados foi utilizando o teste Kruskal-Wallis e quando houve diferença estatisticamente significante foi aplicado o teste Dunn's para comparar os grupos aos pares. Resultados: os julgamentos aferidos por consenso pelas três juízas permitiram a identificação de amostras representativas do uso de fricativa faríngea e da presença e ausência de hipernasalidade. Foram estabelecidos valores de nasalância (média e desvio padrão) para cada grupo e observou-se que houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos com alteração de fala (G1 e G2) e aqueles sem alteração (G3 e G4). A diferença entre o grupo com hipernasalidade (G1) e o grupo com FF (G2...

“…Narrow phonetic transcriptions address the issue of symbol ambiguity and provide a system for describing all phoneme possibilities and distortions (Powell, 2001); however, it has been reported in the literature that most clinicians have little experience with narrow transcription and may find the approach intimidating, time-consuming and cumbersome (Howard & Heselwood, 2002; Powell, 2001). With increasing caseload demands, most clinicians often do not have time for what may be perceived as the extra work involved in completing narrow transcriptions.…”

Purpose-The phonological systems of children with cochlear implants may include segment inventories that contain both target and non-target speech sounds. These children may not consistently follow phonological rules of the target language. These issues present a challenge for the clinical speech-language pathologist who uses phonetic transcriptions to evaluate speech production skills and to develop a plan of care. The purposes of this tutorial are (1) to identify issues associated with phonetic transcriptions of the speech of children with cochlear implants and (2) to discuss implications for assessment.Method-Narrow transcription data from an ongoing, longitudinal research study were catalogued and reviewed. Study participants had at least 5 years of cochlear implant experience and used spoken American English as a primary means of communication. In this tutorial, selected phonetic symbols and phonetic phenomena are reviewed.Conclusions-A set of principles for phonetic transcriptions is proposed. Narrow phonetic transcriptions that include all segment possibilities in the International Phonetic Alphabet and extensions for disordered speech are needed to capture the subtleties of the speech of children with cochlear implants. Narrow transcriptions also may play a key role in planning treatment.
