Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study assesses perceived effort following baseline talking, water swallows and gargle phonation. In addition to perceived effort, acoustic and perceptual analyses will be conducted on the recorded voice samples using vowel sounds, the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V) and Hearing in Noise Sentences (HINT).
