A group of ten women were evaluated in this study. They were divided into two groups, five who use birth control pills and five who do not use birth control pills. The young women were between 22-23 years of age. The researchers divided each participant’s menstrual cycle into six equal intervals, which were 4 days long. 2 to 4 recordings were taken for each participant, amounting to approximately 20 recordings …show more content…
There is an accurate, quantitative measure of understanding pitch and comparing these results to pre- and post- treatment measures. With the need of speech therapists to assist this increasing population, it is important to become well versed in what types of treatments are given to transsexuals that accompany their desires for their projected voice to be satisfactory. Understanding the current response to treatment allows there to be further research on the role of speech therapy, its role, and how it can improve in catering to a population like never before while incorporating tools researchers from Mau, Jacobson, and Garrett’s outcomes with presbyphonia along with new ideas and concepts.

propose the question of how testosterone treatments affect the voice in women who have low testosterone. The study includes 71 women who have had a hysterectomy and have low testosterone levels. The women received a transdermal estradiol for 12 weeks, and then received placebos at unspecified times for 24 weeks. The authors used a questionnaire on the participants to self-report their symptoms and results of the equilibrium dialysis. They were also asked to self-report any vocal changes during the 24-week period. The results indicated that the testosterone treatment lowered the overall pitch in some groups.
The authors of this article study how testosterone affects the voice. This research is relevant to the topic because it examines how speech production is affected by hormones. The researchers used a placebo in their study, which the other testosterone treatment results were compared to. This information is useful because it provides a sound methodology and systematic approach to collecting sufficient data. The study was conducted by Huang, who is an MD at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, and other scientific researchers who have studied voice and hormones for several
