Lingual-Alveolar Contact Pressure during Speech in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Preliminary Findings
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Searl, Jeff; Knollhoff, Stephanie; Barohn, Richard J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: This preliminary study on lingual-alveolar contact pressures (LACP) in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) had several aims: (a) to evaluate whether the protocol induced fatigue, (b) to compare LACP during speech (LACP-Sp) and during maximum isometric pressing (LACP-Max) in people with ALS (PALS) versus healthy controls, (c)…

Printz, Trine; Pedersen, Ellen Raben; Juhl, Peter; Nielsen, Troels; Grøntved, Ågot Møller; Godballe, Christian – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: The aim of this study was to add further knowledge about the usefulness of the Voice Range Profile (VRP) assessment in clinical settings and research by analyzing VRP dual-microphone equipment precision, reliability, and room effect. Method: Test-retest studies were conducted in an anechoic chamber and an office: (a) comparing sound…

Gillespie, Amanda I.; Gartner-Schmidt, Jackie; Rubinstein, Elaine N.; Abbott, Katherine Verdolini – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2013
Purpose: In this study, the authors aimed to (a) determine whether phonatory airflows and estimated subglottal pressures (est-P[subscript sub]) for women with primary muscle tension dysphonia/aphonia (MTD/A) differ from those for healthy speakers; (b) identify different aerodynamic profile patterns within the MTD/A subject group; and (c) determine…

Chung, King; Killion, Mead C.; Christensen, Laurel A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2007
Purpose: To determine the rankings of 6 input-output functions for understanding low-level, conversational, and high-level speech in multitalker babble without manipulating volume control for listeners with normal hearing, flat sensorineural hearing loss, and mildly sloping sensorineural hearing loss. Method: Peak clipping, compression limiting,…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Welham, Nathan V.; Montequin, Douglas W.; Tateya, Ichiro; Tateya, Tomoko; Choi, Seong Hee; Bless, Diane M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2009
Purpose: To develop and evaluate a rat excised larynx model for the measurement of acoustic, aerodynamic, and vocal fold vibratory changes resulting from vocal fold scar. Method: Twenty-four 4-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to 1 of 4 experimental groups: chronic vocal fold scar, chronic vocal fold scar treated with 100-ng basic…

The Effects of Three Nebulized Osmotic Agents in the Dry Larynx
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tanner, Kristine; Roy, Nelson; Merrill, Ray M.; Elstad, Mark – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2007
Purpose: This investigation examined the effects of nebulized hypertonic saline, isotonic saline (IS), and sterile (hypotonic) water on phonation threshold pressure (PTP) and self-perceived phonatory effort (PPE) following a surface laryngeal dehydration challenge. Method: In a double-blind, randomized experimental trial, 60 vocally healthy women…
