OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare trained and untrained Iranian traditional singers on the Dysphonia Severity Index (DSI) and the Singing Voice Handicap Index. The second objective was to examine the relationship between the DSI and Persian version of the Singing Voice Handicap Index (P-SVHI) scores in each group of trained and untrained Iranian traditional singers.
STUDY DESIGN: This study is a comparative cross-sectional study.
METHODS: This study included 17 trained male Iranian traditional singers who were compared with 17 untrained ones who were matched in terms of age. The P-SVHI was completed by trained and untrained Iranian traditional singers. Measures of jitter, lowest intensity, highest phonational frequency, and maximum phonation time (MPT) were obtained from each participant. The DSI scores were calculated using these values.
RESULTS: Trained male traditional singers had an average age of 33.76 ± 7.45 years, 3.24 ± 1.85 hours of daily practice, 5.24 ± 3.78 years of training, 3.06 ± 2.65 no. of professional performances, and untrained singers had an average age of 32.76 ± 12.92 years, 1.53 ± 1.17 hours of daily practice, and 0.88 ± 1.65 no. of professional performances. Trained singers had lower P-SVHI scores and sub-scores, longer MPT, higher F0 high, lower jitter, and lower I low, resulting in higher DSI values (P < 0.05). There was no significant correlation between P-SVHI scores and DSI values in each group of trained and untrained Iranian traditional singers (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study show that the vocal abilities of professional vocalists are enhanced through voice training (higher DSI scores in trained singers vs untrained ones). Voice training can also help to lessen the perception of a handicap related to the singing voice. Hence, it may be necessary to consider alternative norms for the DSI and P-SVHI when administering them to patients who have undergone guided vocal training, such as voice/singing lessons. The current research indicates that the perception of singing voice handicap and DSI values are two distinct characteristics that do not have a significant correlation.
