TRAIT

Abstract

Abstract: Puberphonia is a common vocal disorder characterized by the persistence of high vocal pitches after puberty. It is necessary to evaluate the puberphonia patient's voice quality. The emergence of “Puberphonia eradication clinics” in practice at SIVA ENT Hospital, with a treatment of 1400 cases of puberphonia, necessitates the development of standard protocols for the assessment of puberphonia voice disorders. ENT surgeons, speech therapists and otolaryngologists often use GRBASI scale. G-grade, R-roughness, B-breathiness, A-asthenia, S-strain, and I-instability make up GRBASI scale, which is used to evaluate voice quality. A patient's history, physical exam, visual and perceptual evaluations, and self-evaluation of voice were all part of the process. Additionally, the patient and ENT surgeon reached an agreement on the diagnosis and course of treatment. As such, it mainly serves to provide doctors with a means of communicating the seriousness of auditory-perceptual features associated with puberphonia voice problems. Its secondary objective is to assess the need and add to theories on the physiological and anatomical foundations of voice disorders. People who are impacted may face social obstacles that greatly impact their quality of life. The alterations in the voice can only be felt, not measured or recorded, from a clinical perspective. Since this is an objective measurement of the speech change, we need a simple device or instrument to record it. The otorhino laryngologist will conduct a perceptual evaluation, during which the patient or parent will be asked about the impact of puberphonia dysphonia on everyday life.
