Removal of lymphoid tissue mass (Tonsils) from the vocal tracts between the vocal folds and lips may cause a change in voice quality postoperatively. This study was conducted to determine the effect of tonsillectomy on voice in terms of its quality under the Category: Hoarse, Harsh and Breathy. This study was done on 50 patients (32 females and I8 males) who underwent tonsillectomy for chronic tonsillitis during a period from January 2004 to February 2005 in a Tertiary Care Centre. The preoperative and postoperative voice samples of vowels /a/, /i/ and /u/ were recorded in a computer. The recordings were analyzed using a computerised programme, Dr Speech Software Version 4 (Tiger DRS, Inc. Seattle, USA). The patients reported that they did not perceive any change in his/her voice after surgery. The vocal assessment between the preoperative, first postoperative followup and second postoperative follow-up for all the three vowels /a/,/i/ and /u/ were not statistically significant. As a conclusion, tonsillectomy do not appear to change the acoustic features of vowels remarkably, but in professional voice users they should be warned for any possible changes in voice after surgery.
