Speech Range Profile (SRP) Findings Before and After Mutational Falsetto (Puberphonia)

SummaryIntroductionMutational falsetto is a temporary adolescent voice. Voice therapy support in mutational falsetto helps the individual to regain a healthy voice. Speech Range Profile (SRP) is considered to be a method requiring less time in the pretherapy and posttherapy evaluations of voice patients.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine the differences between the SRP results of male subjects experiencing mutational falsetto before and after therapy.MethodsSixteen male participants have been included in this study. F0, MinF0, MaxF0, F0Range, F0Range (st), MindB SPL, and MaxdB SPL have been taken to evaluation. SRP recordings of all subjects have been performed. All the recordings have been repeated before and after therapy.ResultsA statistically significant difference has been observed between the F0 and MinF0 values before and after therapy (P < 0.001).ConclusionsSRP provides important information about frequency and intensity. In mutational falsetto, SRP is a useful technique in terms of evaluating success in therapy.
