Effect of level difference between left and right vocal folds on phonation: Physical experiment and theoretical study.
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America 2017 August
As an alternative factor to produce asymmetry between left and right vocal folds, the present study focuses on level difference, which is defined as the distance between the upper surfaces of the bilateral vocal folds in the inferior-superior direction. Physical models of the vocal folds were utilized to study the effect of the level difference on the phonation threshold pressure. A vocal tract model was also attached to the vocal fold model. For two types of different models, experiments revealed that the phonation threshold pressure tended to increase as the level difference was extended. Based upon a small amplitude approximation of the vocal fold oscillations, a theoretical formula was derived for the phonation threshold pressure. This theory agrees with the experiments, especially when the phase difference between the left and right vocal folds is not extensive. Furthermore, an asymmetric two-mass model was simulated with a level difference to validate the experiments as well as the theory. The primary conclusion is that the level difference has a potential effect on voice production especially for patients with an extended level of vertical difference in the vocal folds, which might be taken into account for the diagnosis of voice disorders.
