Children's perception of nasal resonance.
The purpose of this study was to investigate children's perception of nasal resonance in other children. A total of 120 elementary-school-aged children listened to four female children's voices with normal resonance to severe hypernasality and responded to a total of 20 questions. All children responded negatively to severe hypernasality in other children. The findings indicate that hypernasality warrants correction.
