“…In addition, men have more vocal fold mass, which makes the vocal fold vibrations slower resulting in less glottic cycles per second (2) . In severe Reinke's edema cases, the F 0 is lower due to the excessive edema, which may result in masculine-sounding voices (14) . To our knowledge, there in only one study that verified the perception that lay judges had of women with Reinke's edema.…”

“…Additionally, women with Reinke's edema often report being mistaken for a man on the telephone (2) . Women with Reinke's edema self-rate their voices as masculine (14) . This finding was observed in a recent study where a group of women with the disease self-assessed their voices as masculine or feminine using a scale from 0 to 9, were 0 = totally masculine and 9 = totally feminine.…”

“…Gender is historically defined by physical, psychological and social characteristics with voice also contributing to the distinction between men and women (14) . Thus, laryngeal pathologies and vocal alterations may be a confusing factor when identifying the speaker's gender, especially when such a judgment is made exclusively from hearing the voice.…”

“…Women with Reinke's edema commonly complain about being addressed as men, especially in phone calls. However, there are only a few studies regarding this condition (9,14) . Recently, a study showed that women with Reinke's edema self-assess their voices as masculine.…”

“…The same study also concluded that these women's voices were perceived as belonging to a male speaker and that this perception is mainly related to the low F 0 . Other voice acoustic parameters, such as lower cepstral peaks, were also identified as related factors (14) . A better understanding of the gender identification ambiguity reported by women with Reinke's edema, as well as the relationship of this ambiguity with laryngological and vocal data, may contribute to clinical and/or preventive discussions about these cases.…”

RESUMO Objetivo Investigar a percepção auditiva de juízes leigos quanto ao gênero de mulheres com edema de Reinke, relacionada com o grau do edema e a frequência fundamental da voz. Método Estudo observacional, analítico e transversal. Participaram 46 juízes leigos que analisaram 48 vozes disfônicas - 24 vozes de mulheres com Edema de Reinke (Grupo Edema de Reinke - GER) e 24 vozes de mulheres e homens com outros tipos de disfonias (Grupo Controle - GC). Os juízes analisaram a contagem de números de 1 a 10 e julgaram as vozes como pertencentes a homem ou mulher, além de descreverem também se tinham certeza ou dúvida quanto à resposta. Os resultados do GER foram associados ao Grau do Edema (1, 2 ou 3) e à frequência fundamental média (F0), analisada por meio da vogal /Ɛ/. Resultados Observou-se que a porcentagem de erros em relação ao gênero foi maior no GER quando comparada à do GC, o percentual de certezas quanto ao gênero foi maior no GC. No GER, edemas de grau 1 ocasionaram menos erros quando comparados aos graus 2 e 3. A média da F0 das mulheres cujas vozes foram julgadas como masculinas (141 Hz) foi menor do que as identificadas corretamente (149 Hz). Conclusão Por meio da avaliação de juízes leigos, as vozes das mulheres com edema de Reinke são identificadas como vozes masculinas. O aumento do grau do edema e a redução da F0 estão relacionados à maior quantidade de erros e/ou dúvidas em relação à identificação do gênero de mulheres com edema de Reinke .

Contact Pressure Between the Vocal Folds in Reinke's Edema: Experimental Observations on an Excised Human Larynx

To analyze the range of values of the contact pressure between the membranous vocal folds with Reinke's edema and to compare it to those observed in the absence of such a lesion. Methods. Two human larynges were separately tested on the experimental bench, one of them with a bilateral loose swelling of the vocal folds. Once in a glottal prephonatory configuration, airflow was increased until achievement of self-sustained oscillations while recording aerodynamic, acoustic, electroglottographic data, and contact pressure between the folds. Results. We observed well-documented variations in acoustical parameters, as the decrease of the fundamental frequency and the increase of the phonation threshold pressure. The results of the study also point to a significant increase in the amplitude of the contact pressure in presence of the Reinke's edema, and a lower degree of harmonicity of the produced sounds. Conclusion. This is the first report of ex vivo study of a larynx with Reinke's edema. It highlights the increase in the contact pressure during phonation, which possibly contributes to sustain the lesion once it appeared.
