This survey was to identify voice symptoms and vocal-health service related experiences of occupational voice users(teachers, telemarketers, speech therapists). The 91.8% of teachers, 97.9% of telemarketers, 86% of speech therapists surveyed reported more than one voice symptom. The symptoms were classified as 9 categories(running a temperature, getting dry, dry and cough, pain, phlegm, tingled, hoarseness, cracks, swollen) and the most frequently reported from 3 groups was 'getting dry'. The 85.7% of teachers, 87.8% of telemarketers, 66% of therapists surveyed had no experience of vocal-health related services. The 19.6%, 19.9%, and 72% of each group reported they have heard both of 'voice/speech therapist'. The 36.8% of teachers and 43.6% of telemarketers answered they don't know how to use their voice efficiently and 45.3% of the teachers, 43.6% of the telemarketers, 28% of the therapists surveyed asked professional help for their voice. The result showed that most of the occupational voice users surveyed experienced voice symptoms but rarely knew professional vocal-health related services.

Voice and speech therapy can be performed in various ways depending on the situation, although it is generally performed in a face-to-face manner. Telepractice refers to the provision of specialized voice and speech therapy by speech-language pathologists for assessment, therapy, and counseling by applying telecommunication technology from a remote location. Recently, due to the pandemic situation and the active use of non-face-to-face platforms, interest in telepractice of voice and speech therapy has increased. Moreover, a growing body of literature has been advocating its clinical usefulness and non-inferiority to traditional face-to-face intervention. In this review, the existing discussions, guidelines, and preliminary studies on non-face-toface voice and speech therapy were summarized, and recommendations on the tools for telepractice were provided.

In addition to administering a questionnaire (J-survey), which questions individuals on subjective vocal fatigue, voice samples were collected before and after speech-language pathology sessions from 50 female speech-language pathologists in their 20s and 30s in the Daejeon and Chungnam areas. We identified significant differences in Korean Vocal Fatigue Index scores between the fatigue and non-fatigue groups, with the most prominent differences in sections one and two. Regarding acoustic phonetic characteristics, both groups showed a pattern in which low-frequency band energy was relatively low, and high-frequency band energy was increased after the treatment sessions. This trend was well reflected in the low-to-high ratio of vowels, slope LTAS, energy in the third formant, and energy in the 4,000-8,000 Hz range. A difference between the groups was observed only in the vowel energy of the low-frequency band (0-4,000 Hz) before treatment, with the non-fatigue group having a higher value than the fatigue group. This characteristic could be interpreted as a result of voice abuse and higher muscle tonus caused by long-term voice work. The perturbation parameter and shimmer local was lowered in the non-fatigue group after treatment, and the noise-to-harmonics ratio (NHR) was lowered in both groups following treatment. The decrease in NHR and the fall of shimmer local could be attributed to vocal cord hypertension, but it could be concluded that the effective voice use of speech-language pathologists also contributed to this effect, especially in the non-fatigue group. In the case of the non-fatigue group, the rhamonics-to-noise ratio increased significantly after treatment, indicating that the harmonic structure was more stable after treatment.

초기후두암에 대한 방사선요법은 수술적 치료에 비하여 정상 후두기능 즉 발성 기능을 최대 한 보존할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 그러나 방사선 치료법은 병적 혹은 정상 후두조직에 섬유화, 점막부종 혹은 점액선 간소등의 변영을 초래할 수 있기 때문에 어느 정도의 음성장애를 유발하게 된다. 방사선요법이 후두의 발성기능에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 초기후두암 환자와 두경부암으로 인하여 정상후두에 방사선 조사를 받았던 환자 및 정상대조군 각 20명에 대하여 음향 및 공기역학적 음성검사를 시행하여 음성장애의 특성을 비교, 검토하였다. 초기 후두암 환자들에게 사는 방사선 치료 후 음성지표들이 관찰되었고, 정상후두에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다.

소아들의 음성장애의 대부분은 음성과 기능에 의한 성대의 오용 및 남용으로부터 기인한다. 그러나 음성장애에 대한 인식의 부족으로 인하여 소아의 음성장애 발견율은 극히 낮은 수준에 머므르고 있다. 치료에 있어서도 행동의 통제가 그다지 쉽지 않기 때문에 많은 어려움이 따른다. 본 연구는 소아의 음성장애의 발생경위와 문제의 설명과 차팅에 의한 남용의 감소에 초점을 둔 치료사례이다. 5세 아동의 심한 음성장애로 의뢰되어졌다. 음성증후는 목쉰소리, 기식화된 소리, 일시적인 발성일탈(phonation break) 등이 두드러졌다. 이비인후과 전문의의 스트로보스코프(stroboscope) 검진결과 초기 양측성 성대결절이 성대 앞쪽으로부터 1/3 지점에서 발견되었으며 비지피치(Visi-Pitch)로 측정된 퍼터베이션(perturbation 수치가 16.8이었다. 사례사 조사 과정에서 아동이 활동적이며 자주 고함을 지르고 자동차놀이를 주로하며 많은 시간을 보낸다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 중재 프로그램은 우선 문제를 설명하고 인식시키는 것과 고함을 지르거나 자동차놀이를 하면서 자동차 소음을 흉내내는 등의 음성남용 회수를 감소시키는 것에 초점을 두었다 17회의 치료로 성대결절이 감소되었고 퍼터베이션은 3.8로 저하되었으며 아동 스스로 음성남용을 통제할 수 있다는 임상적 판단하에 치료를 종결하였다. 1개월 후 추후 검사에서 남용적인 습관이 여전히 나타나지 않았으며 음성상태도 양호하였다. 소아 음성장애의 치료는 소아가 이해할 수 있는 용어로 문제의 인식을 확실히 시키고 행동을 체계적으로 통제할 수 있는 치료프로그램을 실행시키는 임상가의 자질이 대단히 중요하다. 그러나 그에 못지 않게, 많은 시간을 아동과 함께 보내는 부모나 교사의 협력이 치료의 성패를 좌우할 수 있다.조구와 처리구간에 차이가 없었다. 그러나 유지방 함량의 경우 대조구가 3.22%, 처리구가 3.37%로 처리구가 0.15% point 증가했으나 유의차는 없었다.

The purpose of this study was to develop a smartphone based voice therapy program for patients with voice disorders. Contents of voice therapy were collected through analysis of mobile contents related to voice therapy in Korea, experts and users' demand survey, and the program was developed using Android Studio. Content needed for voice therapy was collected through analysis of mobile contents related to voice therapy. The user satisfaction evaluation for application was conducted for five patient with functional voice disorders. The results showed that the mobile contents related to voice therapy in Korea were mostly related to breathing, followed by voice and singing, but only 13 applications were practically practiced for voice therapy. Expert and user demand surveys showed that the patients and therapists both had a high need for content that could provide voice training in places other than the treatment room. Based on this analysis, 'Home Voice Trainer', an smartphone based voice therapy program, was developed. Home Voice Trainer is an application for voice therapy and management based on Android smartphones. It is designed to train voice therapy activities at home that have been trained offline. In addition, the records of voice training of patients were managed online so that patients can maintain voice improvement through continuous voice consulting even after the end of voice therapy. User evaluations show that patients are satisfied with the difficulty and content of voice therapy programs provided by home voice trainers, but lack of a portion of user interface, such as the portion of home button and interface between screens. Further study suggests the clinical application of home voice trainer to the patients with voice disorders. It is expected that the development study and the clinical application of smart contents related to voice therapy will be actively conducted.

Background and Objectives : Pediatric vocal health problems are relatively common. However, it is not yet well studied whether uniform diagnosis and treatment is done properly in South Korea. The purpose of this study was to investigate the methods that the Korean speech therapists use to diagnose and treat pediatric voice problem. Materials and Method : An anonymous online questionnaire was administered to 32 speech language therapists registered at the Korean laryngeal speech linguistics society detailing demographics, employment institution, general management of pediatric patients with vocal problem including assessment and treatment procedures. Results : Current practice patterns were analyzed on 32 speech language therapists providing services in South Korea mostly working at tertiary university hospital. One third of pediatric patients were assessed without proceeding to treatment. One fifth of patients were treated without assessment. Perceptual assessment was the main pretreatment assessment methods used. Treatment was done in the following order : Voice rest, SOVT, yawn-sigh and resonant voice. Post-treatment evaluation was used in the following order : Instrumental assessment, clinical judgment, and recording comparison. Conclusion : Speech language therapists practice in South Korea mostly follows the ASHA practice guidelines. However, there are still great amount of cases in which only the evaluation was done without appropriate treatment. Further research is needed to make SPLs more systematic and efficient for evaluating and treating pediatric vocal patients.

This study evaluated the voice of 68 normal children and 50 children with palatine tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy with MDVP to examine the hypothesis that their mouth breathing makes the vocal folds dry and this condition contributes to lower the level of voice quality. The results showed that children with palatine tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy had statistically significant elevations in Jitt, RAP, PPQ, Shim and APQ parameters, and had the lower level of voice quality. Therefore, the children with palatine tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy need vocal hygiene education.
