Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the short-term repeatability of average airflow in children, ages 4.0 – 5.11 years. Thirty participants with healthy voices and normal hearing sustained the vowel /a/ for 5 seconds at their comfortable frequency and intensity for 3 consecutive productions during 2 separate trials, using the Phonatory Aerodynamic System. The trials were separated by performance of additional acoustic tasks. Results indicated that average airflow measurements were repeatable in young children with no significant difference in average airflow values.
