The Effects of Adenoidectomy and Tonsillectomy on Speech and Nasal Resonance

Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica, 2004
This article presents a review of literature concerning speech and nasal resonance following adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy. In order to comprehend speech-related postoperative changes, the role of the adenoid and the tonsils in speech is discussed as well as the concept of veloadenoidal closure separating oral and nasal cavities.

Experimental Findings on the Nasal Tract Resonator in Singing

Journal of Voice, 2007
Many professional operatic singers sing the vowel /a/ with a velopharyngeal opening.(1) Here resonatory effects of such an opening are analyzed. On the basis of CAT scan imaging of a baritone singer's vocal tract and nasal cavity system, including the maxillary sinuses, acoustic epoxy models were constructed, in which velopharyngeal openings were ...

A Study of Nasometric Values for Normal Nasal Resonance

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1991
It was the purpose of this study to obtain nasalance values for a large number of normal adult subjects speaking a variety of dialects of English. The Nasometer was used to measure the amount of nasal acoustic energy in the speech of 148 normal adults from four geographical regions of North America.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Nasal Airways

American Journal of Rhinology, 1989
Magnetic resonance imaging was used to demonstrate both erectile tissues and airway lumen of the nasal cavities together with their responses to lateral recumbent postures and to topical decongestant. The inferior turbinate and the anterior septal body responded to lateral recumbency by swelling in the inferior nasal cavity and reciprocal shrinking in ...

A Comparative Analysis of Primate Nasal Airways Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Nasal Casts

Journal of Aerosol Medicine, 1997
The nasal cavity is an intricate part of the respiratory tract. It is not only the site of olfaction, but also serves as a filter to protect the lower respiratory tract from inhaled pollutants. A substantial fraction of inhaled particles deposit in this region and may pose potential health risks.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Congenital Midline Nasal Masses

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1986
Congenital midline nasal masses are rare lesions with potential intracranial extensions. Thus, thoughtful preoperative evaluation Is essential in planning the appropriate surgical approach, to prevent such complications as cerebral spinal fluid leaks and meningitis. Preoperative computerized tomographic (CT) scans are useful in visualizing bony defects,

[Study on the nasal resonance].

Lin chuang er bi yan hou ke za zhi = Journal of clinical otorhinolaryngology, 2003
In order to understand the resonant function of the nasal cavity (including nasal sinuses) which is one of the resonant organs of the human body.The maximum frequency, mean frequency and the number of harmonics of five vowels [a], [e], [i], [o], [u] were compared before and after packing of the anterior nasal cavity.The result was analyzed ...

Nasal Resonance in Middle-Aged Women: A Multiparameter Approach

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 2011
Objectives: Aging influences several speech characteristics in middle-aged women. However, the effect of aging on nasal resonance has not been widely investigated, and findings are contradictory. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aging on nasal resonance by comparing young women (between

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Paranasal Sinuses and Nasal Cavities

Topics in Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 1994
Magnetic resonance imaging has proven to be a useful tool for imaging the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavities. Of particular interest in this region is the ability to distinguish between lesions that are highly cellular with little free water (neoplasms) and lesions that have significant amounts of serous and mucinous secretions and thus contain ...
