Automated Creak Identifies Laryngeal Dystonia During Conversational Speech

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated whether automated creak distinguished speakers with adductor laryngeal dystonia (AdLD), muscle tension dysphonia (MTD), and those without voice disorders during conversational speech. Automated creak estimates were able to differentiate speakers with AdLD from MTD and controls with similar performance across different types of ...

Early Spectral Resolution Predicts Later Speech Recognition in Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In 531 ears from 498 adult cochlear implant recipients, spectral modulation detection (EasyQSMD) stabilized within 1 week post‐activation and significantly predicted later speech recognition outcomes. Early spectral resolution thresholds can identify potential poor performers during the critical first month, enabling earlier implementation of targeted ...

Detrending the Waveforms of Steady-State Vowels

Entropy, 2020
Steady-state vowels are vowels that are uttered with a momentarily fixed vocal tract configuration and with steady vibration of the vocal folds. In this steady-state, the vowel waveform appears as a quasi-periodic string of elementary units called pitch ...

Characterizing Secondary Velopharyngeal Surgery in Children With Cleft Palate at an Academic Center

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In 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.

Study and Comparison of Formant Characteristics of Persian Vowels in 4-7-year-old Children Using Cochlear Implants and Those Using Hearing Aids

پزشکی بالینی ابن سینا, 2022
Background and Objective: One of the most important physical properties of vowels is their formant structure. One of the most obvious speech errors in hearing-impaired children is vowel errors. The present study aimed to determine and compare the formant

The Effects of Maturation and Dyslexia Risk on Neural Speech-Sound Encoding and Discrimination at Preschool Stage. [PDF]

Eur J Neurosci
Event‐related potentials (ERPs) to a repeating pseudoword and mismatch responses (MMRs) to five deviances were recorded at 4–5 years and compared with a previously reported follow‐up at 28 months, in subgroups with versus without familial dyslexia risk (n ~ 150).

Effects of Deep Brain Stimulation on Adductor Laryngeal Dystonia

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated how globus pallidus interna (GPi) versus ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects objective voice measures in patients with adductor laryngeal dystonia. GPi‐DBS was associated with greater improvements in voicing, voice breaks, and intensity modulation, while VIM‐DBS showed greater improvement in ...
