“…Moreover, primary school teachers had TA scores that were not different from those of dysphonic subjects described by Nanjundeswaran et al [14] , whereas secondary and high school teachers had significantly lower TA scores. Therefore, the results of our study confirm that, even during the shift to remote teaching, elementary school teachers have a higher risk of voice disorders, emphasizing once again the relevance of voice fatigue as a professional health issue for this specific category [ 15 , 16 , 21 , 27 ]. These findings are not surprising, as teachers of the younger classes are subjected to high vocal demand due to the pupils'age and being in charge of teaching most subjects of the students’ program, without any habilitative vocal training [ 21 , 27 ].…”

“…In addition to job-related factors such as high vocal demand due to teaching in often noisy classroom environments, an additional risk factor for voice disorders and fatigue among teachers is psychological distress [ 5 , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] ]. The relevance of this issue among teachers of all school grades emerged more clearly during the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, a globally stressful condition leading to the disruption of citizens’ daily lives.…”

“…Thus, voice symptoms themselves could turn into stressors that may craft an ongoing vicious cycle by increasing stress levels that, at the same time, diminish professors' quality of life and end up affecting their mental health [14]. This hypothesis has been previously confirmed [15,16] showing that teachers with voice complaints reported greater numbers of common mental disorder symptoms and vice versa.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created a new scenario for vocal and psychological morbidity among the entire population. Occupational voice users have had to adapt to these unique circumstances, confronting brand-new risks that increase the odds of developing and exacerbate vocal and mental health disorders. This paper addresses some of these challenges during and after COVID-19 pandemic. As a major outcome, we identified that work-related factors in online environments could be altering the vocal and mental health among occupational voice users. Interventions should focus on a comprehensive assessment of risk factors, including poor mental health previous to a crisis, life-threatening circumstances, separation from family, panic and bereavement. Similarly, this type of worker must receive instructions in voice training, muscle relaxation and mindfulness techniques, and educational technology.

“…Auf internationaler Ebene wurden bereits zahlreiche Studien durchgeführt, um einen Zusammenhang zwischen funktionellen Dysphonien und psychischen Auffälligkeiten wie Angst und Depression zu belegen [3,7,8]. Die Studienergebnisse von Bainbridge et al [7] wiesen signifikante Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Vorliegen einer Angststörung und stimmlichen Beeinträchtigungen nach.…”
