Unmasking Nasality to Assess Hypernasality [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2023 Automatic evaluation of hypernasality has been traditionally computed using monophonic signals (i.e., combining nose and mouth signals). Here, this study aimed to examine if nose signals serve to increase the accuracy of hypernasality evaluation. Using a

Which Utterance Types Are Most Suitable to Detect Hypernasality Automatically? [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2021 Automatic tools to detect hypernasality have been traditionally designed to analyze sustained vowels exclusively. This is in sharp contrast with clinical recommendations, which consider it necessary to use a variety of utterance types (e.g., repeated ...

Hypernasality associated with basal ganglia dysfunction: evidence from Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Background Although increased nasality can originate from basal ganglia dysfunction, data regarding hypernasality in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Huntington’s disease (HD) are very sparse.

Direct magnitude estimation and interval scaling of hypernasality
Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2002 Hypernasality is most commonly assessed using equal-appearing interval (EAI) scaling. Recently, the validity of EAI scaling for the evaluation of hypernasality has been questioned. The issue of validity rests on the psychophysical nature of the dimension

Characterizing Secondary Velopharyngeal Surgery in Children With Cleft Palate at an Academic Center. [PDF]
LaryngoscopeIn this retrospective study of children undergoing primary palatoplasty at a single academic institution, 10.8% required secondary surgery for velopharyngeal insufficiency. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that private insurance was associated with decreased odds of secondary surgery, while Asian race was associated with increased odds.
