habitual pitch
|
speaking fundamental frequency, the pitch a person typically speaks in and may not be the best pitch given age, sex, physiological characteristics of the larynx (i.e. typically use on a daily basis). It is influence by the person’s age, gender and may be affected by the person’s mood, communicative intent/circumstances (talking on phone, reading, background noise etc.)

|
optimal pitch
|
fundamental frequency where the pitch is precisely correlated with a person’s given age, sex, physiological characteristics of the larynx that produces a rich pure tone voice quality.

Types of aerodynamic measures
|
MPT, s/z ratio
|
|
|
Maximum Phonation Time (MPT)
|
time in seconds a person is able to sustain a vowel sound (i.e., “ah”, “ee” or “oo”) with 1 deep breath at a comfortable pitch & loudness. Usually, 3 attempts best attempt is person’s MPT.
|
|
|
S/Z Ratio
|
voiceless /s/ and voiced /z/ length of production of each sound is completed independently and then compared by dividing seconds of /s/ production by seconds of /z/ production. Values > then 1.40 demonstrate difficulty with vocal fold vibration.
|
|
|
Nasometer
|
to measures the presence of nasality in speech production
|
|
|
Types of cleft palate repair surgery
|
simple palatal closure, palatal closure with palatal lengthening, and direct palatal muscle reapproximation applied to the aforementioned. For example, von Langenbeck procedure, Palatal lengthening - V-Y pushback, Intravelar veloplasty, Double-opposing Z-plasties, Two-flap palatoplasty, and Velar closure - Delayed hard palate closure
