3 Prevalence of voice disorders seems to increase Year Percent teachers with voice problems % % Pre-school teachers High background noise levels, poor room acoustics (Sala et al 001; 00) High background levels (Södersten et al 00) Use of a loud voice and extensive voice use (Buekers, 1998; Szabo Leroy, 004 More pupils in the classes, increased noise levels, increased stress (Simberg m fl 005) Teachers in music sport chemistry higher prevalence of voice symptoms than teachers working in smaller groups (children with special needs) Voice disorder When the elaborate function of breathingphonation-articulation has failed which affects communication (Hammarberg,008) When the voice does not function according to the needs (Sala et al 005; Vilkman 000) Medical diagnosis (Smith m fl 1998, Thibeault m fl 004) Number of patients in relationship to the number in the population The most common diagnosis in teachers Acute Laryngitis Occupation % Pat (n=100) % in Sweden (4.5 milj) All teachers Functional voice disorder Vocal nodules > Pre-school teachers Music teachers (Fritzell, 1996) 17 3

What happens when one talk in high background/acitivity noise?

Take early signs of symtoms seriousty If you are hoarse more than weeks see a doctor important with a medical assessment (laryngologist/phoniatrician) 5
