“…Fairbanks (40) investigated preadolescent voice phenomena of seven-and eight-year-old boys and girls. Acoustic analysis of recorded primary-level reading passages showed voice breaks similar to those reported for the adolescent male groups (22) for all sex-age groups in Fairbank's inquiry. In addition, he found that for the 12 pitch characteristics studied, the sex-age groups were random samples from the same population.…”

Review of Educational Research

DURlNG the past decade, research in hearing and speech impairments has attained prodigious proportions. A good ideal of the impetus for this research was provided by the armed forces in the development of the Army and Navy rehabilitation programs for hearing and speech casualties. The Army and Navy provided funds and utilized key institutions and personnel in developing instrumentation, materials, and procedures for successful prosecution of their programs. Even after the conclusion of the war, the Army and Navy not only manifested continued interest in such research and service, but also made available to institutions and individuals the bulk of this research which formerly fell into restricted categories. Concomitantly, educational and service agencies thruout the country expanded their facilities for exceptional children and adults (2, 4). Because of the extremely large number of contributions appearing since the last review by Johnson and Gardner (69), selection could only include a limited number of these references.Some of these contributions cover wide areas of research themselves. The research of Davis (25), Licklider (81, 82), Miller (95, 96), von Békésy (141), and Wever (149) has penetrated the frontiers of psycho-acoustics, psychophysiology, and other audition phenomena to amazingly profound depths. Jacobson (66) reported the informational capacity of the human ear depended little on its dynamic range. He further considered methods of informational match to the ear, and calculated the average capacity of 0.3 bit/sec. for an individual cochlear fiber. Davis (24) proposed that the Gabor Information Diagram approximated the characteristics of the human ear better than the wave-form or frequency-spectrum methods of representation. Miller and others (97) compiled a two-volume bibliography in audition covering approximately 5500 references. Bangs (7), Curry (22)

“…The results of most voice surveys of chil dren show that approximately 6-13% are dys phonic and about 1.5% need voice rehabilita tion programs [8], Curry [21 ] found that the voices of 80% of 14-year-old boys were of a hoarse-husky quality. Chang and Liao [22] found that 64.2% of the 162 students major ing in the Chinese Opera had vocal problems.…”

This study isolates the voice problems of 99 (40 male, 59 female) children choir singers (age range: 8–14), by applying and validating a simple method for classifying the singing voice. The prevalence of dysphonia was 20.2%. A singing range of fewer than 18 semitones is considered to suggest dysphonia (sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 95%). The validity of the method and its ease of application are discussed. We conclude that voice classification is necessary for all children who sing and that phoniatric examination of dysphonic children is imperative, with special attention given to those whose voices are changing.

“…The prevalence of voice problems in children varies widely across studies, with reported figures ranging from 1% to 80%, [1][2][3][4] and previous research has shown that dysphonia is found in significantly more boys than girls. 4,5 The presence of vocal fold nodules has also been shown to be higher in boys.…”
