Journal Article
Diagnostic value of nasometry--representative study of patients with cleft palate and normal subjects
2007
Overview
In the rehabilitation of cleft palate patients the quality of spoken language represents one of the most important aspects of successful social integration. It is therefore necessary to direct special attention to phoniatric care and speech therapy following operative reconstruction. One of the main problems is the comparison of subjective and objective measures of the degree and type of nasal disorder. In an interdisciplinary project at the University of Jena nasometry was assessed. Due to a lack of norm values for German a representative sample for the calibration of cleft palate patients and normal subjects was collected. Speech was elicited using standardized and phonetically validated reading materials. Nasalance measurements were compared with judgements made by a group of trained listeners who were asked to assess voice quality (RBH) and nasality. A database containing nasalance values and acoustic signals from 120 subjects was built up. The results generally exhibited highly significant correlations between instrumental measurements and auditory judgements. Profiles of norm values for a phonetically and statistically reliable standard for German were obtained, which in turn can be used as a comparative basis for further studies.
