“…The occurrence of vocal symptoms in this sample was comparable to the occurrence in prevalence studies regarding voice disorders (Coyle et al, 2001;Roy, Merrill, Thibeault, Parsa, Gray, & Smith, 2004;Roy et al, 2005;Lyberg Åhlander, Rydell, Fredlund, Magnusson, Wilén, 2015). The descriptive data showed that vocal symptoms were more common among women, which is in line with previous findings (see for example Coyle et al, 2001;Roy et al, 2004;Wilson, Deary, Scott & MacKenzie, 1995).…”

“…It is well established that voice disorders occur significantly more often among women than among men (Coyle, Weinrich, & Stemple, 2001;Herrington-Hall, Lee, Stemple, Niemi & McHone, 1988;Roy, Merrill, Gray & Smith, 2005). Dietrich et al (2008) concluded that individual differences seem to play a role in the evolvement of stress in persons with voice disorders and that these differences may to some extent be related to gender.…”

Purpose: We investigated whether participants who reported more often occurring vocal symptoms showed higher salivary cortisol levels and if such possible associations were different for men and women. Method:The participants (N = 170; men n = 49, women n = 121) consisted of a populationbased sample of Finnish twins born between 1961 and 1989. The participants submitted saliva samples for hormone analysis and completed a web-questionnaire including questions regarding the occurrence of six vocal symptoms during the past 12 months. The data were analyzed using the Generalized Estimated Equations (GEE) method.Results: A composite variable of the vocal symptoms showed a significant positive association with salivary cortisol levels (p < .001). Three of the six vocal symptoms were significantly associated with the level of cortisol when analyzed separately (p-values below .05). The results showed no gender difference regarding the effect of salivary cortisol on vocal symptoms. Conclusions:There was a positive association between the occurrence of vocal symptoms and salivary cortisol levels. Participants with higher cortisol levels reported more often occurring vocal symptoms. This could have a connection to the influence of stress on vocal symptoms since stress is a known risk factor of vocal symptoms and salivary cortisol can be seen as a biomarker for stress.

“…Recently published data suggest that very few teachers in Swedish schools have undergone any voice training and that voice amplification is rare, even in the schools' sports halls 1 . As pointed out by many authors, teachers are at risk of developing voice problems and there is a high prevalence of voice disorders in teaching staff also when compared to other occupations with vocal demands [3][4][5][6] . Teachers' vocal load is also indicated by self-reported sick-leave due to voice problems.…”

Teachers' Voice Use in Teaching Environments: A Field Study Using Ambulatory Phonation Monitor

Objectives. This case-control designed field-study examines the vocal behavior in teachers with self-estimated voice problems and their age-, and school-matched voice-healthy colleagues. It was hypothesized that teachers with and teachers without voice problems use their voices differently regarding fundamental frequency, sound pressure level and in relation to the background noise. Methods.Teachers with self-estimated voice-problems (n=14, 2M/12F) were age and gender matched to voice-healthy school-colleagues (n=14, 2M/12F). The subjects, recruited from an earlier study, had been examined in laryngeal, vocal, hearing and psychosocial aspects. The Conclusion.The results suggest a different vocal behavior in subjects with subjective voice problems and a higher vocal load with fewer possibilities for vocal recovery.

Voice Disorders in the General Population: Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Occupational Impact

Abstract: The results of this large epidemiologic study provide valuable information regarding the prevalence of voice disorders, factors that contribute to voice disorder vulnerability, and the functional impact of voice problems on the general population.
