Abstract

Purpose

To identify factors that influence vocal habits during online meetings (OMs).

Methods

A prospective trial of forty participants without any known hearing or vocal cord disorders. Subjects participated in an OM divided into six randomly ordered sections, with alterations in audio/speaking equipment and language: the computer's speaker-microphone, a single earbud, two-earbuds or headphones; with/without video, native-language-speaking (Hebrew) versus second language-speaking (English). Each section included free speech, sustained phonation, and a standardized passage. Participants ranked their vocal-effort for each section. Three blinded raters independently scored the voice using the GRBAS scale, and acoustic analyses were performed.

Results

No significant difference in self-reported vocal effort was demonstrated between sections. Second-language speaking resulted in significantly increased intensity (p < 0.0001), frequency (p = 0.015), GRBAS (p = 0.008), and strain (p < 0.0001) scores. Using the computer's speaker/microphone resulted in significantly higher strain (p < 0.0001). Using headphones, single or two earbuds resulted in lower intensity and a lower strain score. No differences were detected between OMs with or without video.

Conclusions

Using the computer's microphone/speaker or speaking in a second language during OMs, may result in vocal habits associated with vocal trauma.

Eine aktuelle Studie des Universitätsklinikums Erlangen verdeutlicht, dass Langzeitüberlebende von Kopf-Hals-Tumoren eine geringe Symptomlast aufweisen. Die am häufigsten auftretenden Beschwerden – Müdigkeit, Angstzustände, Schläfrigkeit und Schmerzen – sollten von den behandelnden Ärztinnen und Ärzten gezielt adressiert werden.
