... genetically male and female age-matched healthy controls were enrolled in the study. The fundamental frequency (F0) and FFs F1–F4 were obtained from TF speakers 6 months after surgery. These levels were compared with those of healthy controls. Results: Statistical analysis showed that the median F0 values...

... speakers over 70 years of age. Four selected acoustic parameters [fundamental frequency (F0), jitter, shimmer, and harmonics-to-noise ratio] were obtained and compared to a group of young and middle-aged speakers. Methods: Subjects were 21 Iranian elderly men and 20 Iranian elderly women. The age range...

...Nan Yan; Paul K.Y. Lam; Manwa L. Ng Objective: Previous studies of English-speaking esophageal (SE) and tracheoesophageal (TE) speakers revealed a significantly lower voice fundamental frequency (F0) than normal laryngeal (NL) speakers. Studies of SE and TE speakers of a tone language, however...

...Kris Tjaden; Greg Wilding Objective: This study examined the extent to which articulatory rate reduction and increased loudness were associated with adjustments in utterance-level measures of fundamental frequency (F₀) variability for speakers with dysarthria and healthy controls that have been...

...J. Verstraete; G. Forrez; P. Mertens; F. Debruyne Looking for possible signs of vocal fatigue, acoustic waveform perturbation was measured in normal female subjects during sustained phonation at various fundamental frequencies (F o ). At none of the pitch levels a rise of the jitter or the shimmer...

Using an aeroelastic model of voice production, the present study quantifies the acceleration and impact stress values in relation to lung pressure, fundamental frequency (F0...

...Masaki Nishio; Seiji Niimi Changes in speaking fundamental frequency (SFF) associated with aging were studied in a total of 374 healthy normal speakers (187 males and 187 females) from adolescent to older age groups. Participants were asked to read a sample passage aloud, and acoustic analysis...

...W.S. Brown, Jr.; Rahul Shrivastav The variability in comfortable effort level across experimental sessions as assessed by measures of speaking fundamental frequency (SFF) and vocal intensity (VI) has been reported for normal adult speakers. However, no such data are available for young children...

...Kate Bunton This study investigates the importance of fundamental frequency (F0) as a perceptual cue for identification of vowel targets produced by speakers with Parkinson’s disease (PD). It has been suggested in the literature that F0 is a redundant cue for vowel identification in highly...

The samples were mixed with five noise types at eight signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) levels. The resulting 80,000 audio samples were analyzed for fundamental frequency (F₀), jitter...

...Valdis Jónsdottir; Anne-Maria Laukkanen; Erkki Vilkman An increase in fundamental frequency (F₀) and in sound pressure level (SPL) has been reported both after vocal loading tests and after a teacher’s working day. This increase has been found to be greater among teachers with fewer voice...
