Purpose The purpose of this document is threefold:(a) review the uses of the terms “vocal
fatigue,”“vocal effort,”“vocal load,” and “vocal loading”(as found in the literature) in order to …

Vocal loading tasks (VLTs) are used to assess range of function and vulnerability of the
laryngeal system. The manner in which VLTs compromise the laryngeal mechanism is …

Vocal fatigue is a measurable form of performance fatigue resulting from overuse of the
voice and is characterized by negative vocal adaptation. Vocal dose refers to cumulative …

Vocal effort is a physiological measure that accounts for changes in voice production as
vocal loading increases. It has been quantified in terms of sound pressure level (SPL). This …

Purpose Previous work using ambulatory voice recordings has shown no differences in
average vocal behavior between patients with phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction and …

Sound is vital for communication and navigation across the animal kingdom and sound
communication is unrivaled in accuracy and information richness over long distances both in …

Objectives This study aimed to quantify the effects of vocal loading and vocal rest using
aerodynamic, acoustic, and self-rating measurements. Methods Ten participants were …

Miniature high-bandwidth accelerometers on the anterior neck surface are used in
laboratory and ambulatory settings to obtain vocal function measures. This study compared …

Background Voice disorders among teachers are widespread. Teachers' voice problems
have been shown to influence the teaching-learning process, thereby impeding students' …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential for estimating subglottal air
pressure using a neck-surface accelerometer and to compare the accuracy of predicting …
