Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the association between self-perception of vocal quality and the degree of vocal deviation, signs and symptoms, and laryngological diagnosis.
Methods: Cross-sectional, observational, and descriptive study. The sample consisted of 100 individuals of both sexes, with an average age of 38.9 years, users of a university hospital. The General Dysphonia Risk Screening Protocol was applied, which includes a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for self-assessment of vocal quality. Voices were recorded and a laryngological examination was performed.
Results: The average VAS score was 4.13 (mild deviation). From the clinical analysis, it was observed that there was a higher frequency of mild dysphonia and benign laryngeal lesions. Approximately one third presented laryngeal exam without alterations. Self-perception of vocal deviation was associated with signs and symptoms of hoarseness, deep voice and sore throat.
Conclusion: The association of self-perception of vocal quality with some vocal signs and symptoms and the lack of association with vocal deviation and the type of laryngeal lesion indicates many particularities in the way each patient perceives his/her alteration, and it is necessary that this perception be expanded for better therapeutic success.
