  2 weeks

• The outcomes of fundamental frequency

  It was analyzed with noise harmonic ratio, jitter and shimmer that were calculated by computer software. Typical average values for the frequencies are 120 Hz for men and 210 Hz for women. The lower frequencies show masculine voice. The higher frequencies show feminine voices.

  2 weeks

• The outcomes of maximum phonation times

  The subjects tried to say the vowel "a'" for as long as they could than it was assessed as seconds. Typical average values for the maximum phonation times are between 15-30 seconds. The higher times show healthy phonation.
