Located anteriorly atthe base of the neck, the thyroid produces hormones that regulate metabolism. Thyroiddysfunction can lead to excess or reduced production of hormones known as hyper andhypothyroidism. Usually affecting women, hyper and hypothyroidism can be life-threatening.A well-known treatment is a thyroidectomy, or removal of the thyroid gland.Many people report vocal change secondary to thyroidectomy. Dysfunction can resultfrom intubation during surgery or damage to laryngeal nerves and/or muscles. Aparticipant’s low intensity and difficulty with projection prompted a case-study toexamine the laryngeal area for differences. KayPENTAX Visi-Pitch and Videostrobeinstrumentation were utilized to provide instant video feedback and acoustic parametersthat were compared to typical parameters/structures. Using videostroboscopy, a rigidscope was placed over the base of the tongue containing a miniature camera. Theparticipant phonated syllables such as “ee” and “ah” from low to high pitch ranges atCleveland State University (CSU). A voice sample was also analyzed through Visi-Pitchinstrumentation to assess parameters including jitter, shimmer, and fundamentalfrequency among others. Structural and acoustic parameters from Cleveland State werecompared to results from an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) doctor also utilizingvideostroboscopy. Both CSU and ENT results note structural and acoustic differencesdespite no reported laryngeal nerve damage post-thyroidectomy. 2019-06-04 English text Cleveland State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=csu1558713253218014 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=csu1558713253218014 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
