“…Individuals with asthma, for example, may experience physical limitations because of shortness of breath, but they may also experience vocal fold paralysis as a result of corticosteroids used to treat their disease. 11,18 Individuals with significant occupational voice demands, such as teachers, are at the greatest risk of developing voice problems. 12 Sapir et al 20 reported that more than 30% of teachers quit their jobs because of voice problems, and Smith et al 21 reported that more than 38% of teachers have trouble with teaching because of voice problems and that female teachers tend to have more voice problems than male teachers.…”

“…A human communication research effort centered on UVFP would be both patient‐focused and provider‐receptive because some expertly treated patients will still fail to meet vocal production goals . Dysphonia arising from UVFP compromises communicative function and lowers quality of life . Developing innovative behavioral, psychometric, and neuroimaging evaluation tools would help to advance patient care.…”

Vocal motor control and central auditory impairments in unilateral vocal fold paralysis

Objectives To evaluate differences in vocal motor control and central auditory processing between treated unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) and healthy control cohorts. Study Design Cross‐sectional. Methods Ten UVFP study patients treated by type I thyroplasty with stable voices were compared to 12 control subjects for vocal motor control using a pitch perturbation response task and central auditory processing performance using a battery of complex sound intelligibility assays that included adverse temporal and noise conditions. Standard clinical evaluations of voice production and peripheral audiometric sensitivity were performed. Results Vocal motor control was impaired in treated UVFP. The UVFP cohort exhibited a 32.5% reduction in the instantaneous, subconscious compensatory response to pitch feedback perturbation in the interval between 150 ms and 550 ms following onset (P < 0.0001, linear mixed effects model). This impairment cannot simply be ascribed to vocal motor capacity insufficiency in the UVFP cohort because both cohorts demonstrated comparable functional capacity to perform the vocal motor task. The UVFP cohort also showed greater propensity for central auditory processing impairment (P < 0.05), notably for temporal compression and added noise challenges. Conclusion Combined central vocal motor control and auditory processing impairments in treated UVFP highlight reciprocal interdependency of sensory and motor systems. This pilot study suggests that peripheral motor impairment of the larynx can degrade central auditory processing, which in turn may contribute to vocal motor control impairment. A more complete restoration communicative function in UVFP will require deeper understanding of sensory, motor, and sensorimotor aspects of the human communication loop.

Quality of life indicators according to voice disorders and voice-related conditions

Abstract: Voice disorders stem from a variety of risk factors and biological mechanisms. Such disorders may lead to poor physical and psychosocial functioning.
