“…This result may be related to the fact that fundamental frequency of girls and boys are similar until puberty (29) . On the other hand, unlike the results found here, differences between genders have been found for languages spoken in Malaysia, Turkey and Arabia, and, in general, nasalance was shown to be higher in girls (13,20,21) . Taken together, these data suggest that gender differences may be present in some languages but not in others.…”

“…The use of nasometry in different countries soon has shown that nasalance varies according to the language spoken (9)(10)(11)(12)(13) . Studies with Brazilian Portuguese speakers, including children, have shown that nasalance can also vary according to age, gender or the type of emission (syllables and/or sentences) (14,15) , confirming observations for other languages (13,(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo Determinar valores de nasalância de crianças falantes do Português Brasileiro sem alterações na produção da fala, atraso de linguagem e deformidades dentofaciais evidentes, aos 5 anos de idade, e verificar as diferenças entre tipos de emissão e entre gêneros. Método A nasalância foi determinada em 20 crianças, 11 do gênero masculino e idade entre 4 anos e 10 meses e 5 anos e 11 meses, utilizando um nasômetro II 6450 (KayPENTAX), na produção de oito sílabas tipo consoante-vogal e uma sequência de nove vocábulos. A significância das diferenças entre os tipos de emissões foi verificada pelo Teste de Tukey e, entre os gêneros, pelo teste de Mann-Whitney, para um nível de 5%. Resultados Os valores médios de nasalância foram os seguintes: /pa/= 10±4%, /pi/= 22±7%, /sa/= 11±5%, /si/= 24±11%, /ma/= 57±11%, /mi/= 73±13%, /la/= 14±9%, /li/= 25±11%, vocábulos (pipa, bis, burro, tatu, pilha, cuca, gui, fila, luz)= 20±6%. Na maioria das comparações, os valores de nasalância das sílabas nasais foram significantemente maiores do que os das sílabas orais (com vogal alta ou neutra) e os valores das sílabas orais com vogal alta foram significativamente maiores que os das sílabas orais com vogal neutra. Não houve diferença significante entre os gêneros. Conclusão Foram definidos valores normais de nasalância de crianças falantes do Português Brasileiro, de 5 anos de idade, sendo que a metodologia empregada pode servir de padrão para o diagnóstico precoce de desvios de nasalidade, como a hipernasalidade observada na fala de crianças com fissura palatina.

“…Passage have been used for establishing normative nasalance data for oral, nasal, and oronasal stimuli, respectively [1,3,4]. Similar speech materials consisting of oral, nasal, and oronasal stimuli for other languages including Swedish [24], Flemish [34], Malay [35], Vietnamese [36], and Korean [37] have been developed as well. The ranges of normative nasalance scores for oral, nasal, and oronasal stimuli in different languages have been reported as 6.8 to 34.9, 41.3 to 78.0, and 16.9 to 39.5, respectively [24,25,27,32,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50].…”

Factors affecting normative nasalance scores include difference in composition of phonemes in different speech materials such as higher nasalance for high vowels (e.g, /i/ and /u/) than low vowels (e.g., /ae/ and /a/), dialect, age, gender, and speech intensity [51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58].…”

Background: The Kay Pentax Nasometer uses a separator plate that touches the philtrum of a patient to separate the nasal and oral sound energies for nasalance measurement. However, the separator plate could restrict the natural movement of the patient’s upper lip and generate an unpleasant pressure to the patient’s philtrum. The present study was intended to measure nasalance scores without touching the philtrum for better comfort during speech assessment and therapy.Methods: Nasalance scores of 10 males and 10 females having no speech disorders were measured under four levels (0, 5, 10, and 15 mm) of the gap between the plate and the philtrum (denoted as plate-to-philtrum gap) using Nasometer II 6450 for nasal (Nasal Sentences) and oral (Zoo Passage) stimuli. Regression formulas were established to examine the relationships between nasalance score and plate-to-philtrum gap for the Nasal Sentences and the Zoo Passge, respectively. To provide equivalent nasalance scores measured under the 5-mm plate-to-philtrum gap to those measured under the conventional contact measurement condition (i.e., the 0-mm plate-to-philtrum gap in the present study), compensation factors were identified as the ratio of the mean nasalance measured under the 0-mm gap to that measured under the 5-mm gap for the Nasal Sentences and the Zoo Passge, respectively. The validation of the identified compensation factors was examined.Results: The nasalance scores were significantly different between the four different plate-to-philtrum gaps for the stimuli. Nonlinear and linear regression formulas were established for the relationships between nasalance score and plate-to-philtrum gap for the Nasal Sentences and the Zoo Passage, respectively. Compensation factors for the Nasal Sentences and the Zoo Passage were identified as 1.17 and 0.71, respectively. Validation results showed that the adjusted nasalance scores after mutiplying the identified compensation factors were similar to those measured under the conventional contact measurement condition for both the oral and nasal stimuli.Conclusions: The 5-mm plate-to-philtrum gap condition after multiplying the compensation factors can provide equivalent nasalance scores to the conventional contact measurement condition and better comfort in speech assessment and therapy.
