There is a long-standing dispute about indoor air humidity and perceived indoor air quality
(IAQ) and associated health effects. Complaints about sensory irritation in eyes and upper …

Objectives We aimed to critically appraise scientific, peer-reviewed articles, published in the
past 10 years on the effects of hydration on voice quality in adults. Study design This is a …

Objectives Vocal loading tasks provide insight regarding the mechanisms underlying
healthy laryngeal function. Determining the manner in which the larynx can most efficiently …

Objective We evaluated voice acoustics and self-perceptual ratings in healthcare workers
required to wear face masks throughout their workday. Methods Eighteen subjects (11 …

Purpose This study aimed to examine the relationship between a large set of hypothesized
physiological measures of vocal effort and self-ratings of vocal effort. Method Twenty-six …

Objective The aim of this study was to describe the effect of superficial hydration, with or
without systemic hydration, on voice quality in future female professional singers by …

Objective The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of a vocal loading challenge
that combined prolonged speaking, in child-directed voice within a noisy environment, in …

Laryngeal mucus hydrates and lubricates the deformable tissue of the vocal folds and acts
as a boundary layer with the airflow from the lungs. However, the effects of the mucus' …

Background: Hyperosmolar aerosols appear to promote or suppress upper airway
dysfunction caused by dehydration in a composition-dependent manner. We sought to …

Introduction Superficial laryngeal hydration, obtained through nebulization, is related to the
moisture level on the epithelial surfaces of the vocal folds, modifying their biomechanical …
