Frequency and effects of teachers' voice problems

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigate teachers' self-reported voice problems during virtual teaching compared to face-to-face teaching and how they are associated to perceived risk factors in the work environment.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of articles was carried out in four databases and 11 were selected following inclusion and exclusion criteria; the level of evidence was IIb in 3 of them and IV in 8.

TL;DR: The results support the notion that vocal hygiene education can be an integral aspect of the treatment of voice problems in most cases.

TL;DR: Analysis of 237 questionnaires obtained from female teachers suggests that vocal attrition may be prevalent among teachers, and a significant number of teachers, especially those with multiple symptoms, reported that their symptoms adversely affected their ability to teach effectively and that their voice was a chronic source of stress or frustration.

TL;DR: Students with multiple symptoms of vocal attrition were significantly more likely to be bothered, frustrated, worried, depressed, or anxious about their voice and have a general tendency to worry, be depressed or anxious, or have mood swings.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison between 10 singers and 10 nonsingers with vocal nodules and two control groups of normals was made on a wide range of acoustic, aerodynamic, psychoacoustic, and videostroboscopic measures.
