[A multiparameter method of computer-assisted objective vocal evaluation].
The aim of this study is to validate an aid for the evaluation of dysphonia with objective measurements. We recorded exhaled airflow, fundamental frequency and sound level pressure, for a sustained vowel "a", with 51 dysphonic subjects and 15 normal subjects. The following measurements are made on these three parameters: mean value, standard deviation and coefficient of variation. The exhaled airflow volume was also computed for a duration of 2 seconds. A principal components analysis of the measurements indicated that it is possible to recognise the classes of vocal evaluation and vocal pathology. These findings reinforce on objective aid for the vocal evaluation of dysphonia.
