“…More severe hearing loss leads to more damaged auditory feedback cycles resulting in increased complaints regarding one's voice-related problems. Therefore, considering that healthy voice characteristics highly depend on hearing system operation, so hearing loss (damage) is accompanied by severe voice disorders, and it seems that the voice disorders in people with hearing loss are comprehensible by ordinary people [22,23]. This is in line with the findings of the present study.…”

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the total score and subscale scores of the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) in speakers with and without hearing loss. A further aim was to determine if a correlation exists between severities of hearing loss with total scores and VHI subscale scores. Patients and Methods: In this cross-sectional, descriptive analytical study, 100 participants, divided in 2 groups of participants with and without hearing loss, were studied. Background information was gathered by interview, and VHI questionnaires were filled in by all participants. Results: For all variables, including mean total score and VHI subscale scores, there was a considerable difference in speakers with and without hearing loss (p < 0.05). The correlation between severity of hearing loss with total score and VHI subscale scores was significant. Conclusion: Speakers with hearing loss were found to have higher mean VHI scores than speakers with normal hearing. This indicates a high voice handicap related to voice in speakers with hearing loss. In addition, increased severity of hearing loss leads to more severe voice handicap. This finding emphasizes the need for a multilateral assessment and treatment of voice disorders in speakers with hearing loss.

“…The degree of intra-and interjudge agreement was also measured. Additionally, if the Portuguese translation of the CAPE-V scale [20][21][22] produces results consistent with those in which this scale was used in its original language was examined, thus determining the validity of its use independently of cultural and language differences.…”

“…Outros fatores destacados na qualidade de voz das crianças usuárias de IC estão relacionados à ausência de ossificação coclear, ao restabelecimento precoce da audição, aos resíduos auditivos com AASI e ao processo terapêutico 14 . Em relação ao deficiente auditivo pós-lingual usuário de IC, foram encontrados dois estudos 11,15 . O IC em adultos sem reabilitação específica para a voz proporcionou um impacto positivo na qualidade vocal, observado pela avaliação perceptivo--auditiva.…”

“…O IC em adultos sem reabilitação específica para a voz proporcionou um impacto positivo na qualidade vocal, observado pela avaliação perceptivo--auditiva. A f 0 diminuiu entre os homens e variou na comparação com os achados em mulheres 11 . Resultados da avaliação acústica apontaram que os resultados nos usuários de IC foram piores que os dados de normalidade do Multi Dimensional Voice Program (MDVP), entretanto, indicaram quanto as de AASI apresentaram pior desempenho em todas as avaliações vocais realizadas, quando comparadas às ouvintes.…”
