Abstract Details

2010, Master of Arts, Miami University, Speech Pathology and Audiology.
The purpose of this study was to gather normative data of vocal usage in college professors of vocal music, theater, and instrumental music during 5 work days over the course of 3 weeks using the Ambulatory Phonation Monitor (APM). Three participants were included in this case study, two females and one male. Duration, phonation time, percent phonation, fundamental frequency, intensity, cycle dose, and distance dose were collected each work day and for one teaching session per work day, if applicable. Results indicated that the average work day of all participants was 7 hours and 40 seconds. All participants were within normal limits for age and gender in regards to all vocal parameters measured. Participants had a misconception of how much they phonated throughout the day, which is clinically relevant in detection and treatment.
