Voice Disability in Teachers. Research Report

Summary/Abstract: Teachers are the professional group in which voice disorders are most often diagnosed. Voice disability can develop over many years, which makes it difficult to work and function daily. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of training courses, both in the prevention of voice disorders and the disorders themselves. Research was carried out among 221 teachers to present the state of voice disability in a given population and how many of the surveyed people are under the care of a phoniatrist. The research shows that in the majority of the surveyed teachers – 173 people (78%) – the degree of voice disability was low, in 41 people (18%) average, in 6 people (3%) it did not occur, and in 1 person (1%) was large. 62% of the teachers surveyed are under the constant care of a phoniatrist. The physical sphere of the voice is the most vulnerable. Teachers abuse the voice (which can be seen at the subjective percentage price – p = 0.025) and this is the cause of voice disability. Teachers are a professional group that needs increased and continuous support in the prevention of voice disorders.
