Abstract
The voice of
hearing impaired individuals shows abnormalities as compared to normally
hearing individuals, at every stage of development. For individuals with
hearing loss, the formation of voice has been shown to depend largely upon the
type, profoundness, and time of onset of hypoacusis. Inappropriate auditory
control of voice leads to abnormal voice characteristics by inducing changes in
aerodynamic parameters. Analysis of aerodynamic parameters shows a decrease in
the VC of lungs and shortening of MPS time. Abnormalities in the acoustic
structure of voice refer primarily to frequency and amplitude parameters, voice
irregularities, and the presence of noise components. In particular, deaf and
partially deaf individuals use a narrower range of frequencies and tend to have
less control over the pitch of their voices. The voice of hearing impaired
children is frequently dull, fluctuating, and harsh, and is accompanied by high
muscle tension, puffy, toneless, silent, monotonous, and devoid of melody. Early
intervention with a hearing aid, along with audiological and phoniatrical
rehabilitation, improves the acoustic structure and the individuals’
interpersonal communication. Improvement in voice acoustic parameters may be a
useful indicator of restored auditory control.
Biography
Karol Myszel has
completed his degree in medicine from University of Medical Sciences in Poznan,
Poland. His specialty in audiology and phoniatrics completed in Institute of
Physiology and Pathology of Hearing in Warsaw, Poland, where he currently works
on his PhD thesis to be completed later this year. He works as senior
consultant in Center of Hearing and Speech in Kajetany, Poland. The main area
of his scientific interest is voice development and voice and speech
characteristics in hearing impaired people and he is author and co-author of
several publications referring to this topic.
