“…The participants of the two experimental groups felt significantly less dryness in their throats after using the waterpipes, as has also been reported in earlier studies. 18,28 Furthermore, in the present study, the mean change in the experimental groups exceeded the variability observed in the control subjects. This suggests that the changes can be considered true and potentially clinically relevant, and that the waterpipe is indeed effective in remediating sensations of throat dryness even in the healthy population.…”

“…20,27 However, in a study by Zou and colleagues, 21 the acoustically measured quality of voice was reported to decrease when the hydration treatment was continued after reaching the optimal hydration status. Similarly, Vermeulen and colleagues 28 observed increasing perturbation values when superficial hydration was added to the systemic hydration treatment in healthy subjects. This again seems to suggest, as Hemler and colleagues argued, 56 that hydration treatment does not improve acoustic parameters of voice when the speaker's hydration status is already optimal.…”

“…The results indicated that superficial hydration treatment with systemic hydration might impair the voice quality of healthy participants by increasing the acoustic values of jitter or shimmer. 28 Similarly, Zou and colleagues 21 noted an increase in jitter and shimmer in healthy participants' voices. However, this was only observed after sufficient hydration status was achieved, but hydration treatment was further continued.…”

“…27 However, the results have been somewhat different among healthy participants. For example, Vermeulen and colleagues 28 investigated how surface hydration treatment affects voice quality with or without systemic hydration, such as fluid ingestion. The results indicated that superficial hydration treatment with systemic hydration might impair the voice quality of healthy participants by increasing the acoustic values of jitter or shimmer.…”

The Efficacy of the NHS Waterpipe in Superficial Hydration for People With Healthy Voices: Effects on Acoustic Voice Quality, Phonation Threshold Pressure and Subjective Sensations

This study examined the efficacy of the NHS waterpipe as a superficial hydration treatment in voice production in healthy young women. Study Design. This is a prospective, single-blind, within-and between-subject experimental design. Methods. Thirty six female university students (mean age 24.6 years, range 19−45 years) were recruited to the study. Participants were randomized to two experimental groups (E1 and E2) and a control group. E1 underwent hydration treatment with the NHS waterpipe filled with 0.9% saline that was immersed in a cup of heated water. E2 underwent a similar treatment but without heated immersion. The control group received no treatment. Acoustic Voice Quality Index (AVQI v03.01) and its subparameters, phonation threshold pressure, self-perceived phonatory effort and sensation of throat dryness was measured at three time points (before the intervention and immediately and 15 minutes after it).Results. The Tilt of the AVQI's subparameters increased significantly in the E1 (P = 0.027) and E2 groups (P = 0.027) after the intervention. Furthermore, the E1 group had significantly lower harmonics-to-noise-ratio values at the third measurement point compared to the E2 group (P = 0.023). These findings may result from fluid transported to the vocal fold level. The sensations of throat dryness decreased in the E1 (P = 0.001) and E2 groups (P < 0.0005) after the intervention. Perceived phonatory effort decreased statistically significantly at the final measurement point in the E1 (P = 0.002) and E2 (P = 0.031) groups. No variables changed in the control group. Conclusions. The waterpipe seems to be efficient in hydrating vocal folds on single use. It seems to be more efficient when employed with a hot water bath, albeit slightly impairing some acoustic values in the short term. Without the heated fluid, it still seems to decrease sensations of throat dryness and affect acoustic voice quality. The waterpipe does not seem to have an effect on phonation threshold pressure, and it seems to lower self-perceived effort just as efficiently whether the waterpipe is employed using a hot water bath or not. Further research is needed to prove the efficacy of long-term usage and usage with voice patients.

“…A voz humana desempenha um papel vital para interação das pessoas, sendo assim, indiscutível sua relevância nas áreas médicas, mais especificamente no âmbito da fonoaudiologia (VERMEULEN et al, 2020) (SANTOS, 2015). Assim, é neste contexto da quantificação da qualidade de vozes patológicas que as análises perceptivas-auditivas da voz permanecem como método padrão nos diagnósticos de pacientes com distúrbios vocais.…”

O atual modelo de avaliação perceptivo-auditiva da voz está alicerçado em escalas analógicas visuais e buscam melhorias contínuas sob inúmeros aspectos, com destaque para a prescrição de uma boa avaliação referente a qualidade vocal, bem como o seu diagnóstico e monitoramento de tratamentos. Refletindo-se sobre as eventualidades que degradam os aspectos, constata-se a não padronização dos protocolos avaliativos comumente utilizados. Assim sendo, os objetivos principais deste artigo consistiram em desenvolver ferramentas computacionais dedicadas à estimação do parâmetro subjetivo, grau geral do desvio vocal. Mais especificamente, desenvolveu-se a técnica de fragmentação dos arquivos de áudios, a decomposição downsample desses dados para o nível seis dos coeficientes de energia da transformada wavelet packet referentes a seis filtros wavelets distintos, sendo eles: daubechies, symlets, coiflets, fejer-korovkin, biorthogonal e reverse biorthogonal, propondo uma metodologia automatizada para implementação das redes neurais perceptron multicamadas com a finalidade de integrar as variáveis advindas de tal decomposição. Resultados com amostras vocais reais são apresentados para demonstrar a eficiência das técnicas desenvolvidas, expondo taxas de acertos maiores que 98.7% para o método elaborado.
