title: [Vocal nodules in professional singers of classical style].
abstract: Whether physiologically correct singing promotes disappearance of vocal nodules (VN) was studied in 27 professional classic style singers having VN for 20 years. VN arose primarily in women, tended to recur. As shown by examination with laryngostroboscope, electroglottograph and sound level meter, physiologically correct singing resulted in temporary disappearance of soft nodules but hard nodules did not resolve. It is inferred that professional singing is not recommended for subjects with hard vocal nodules.
