Participants underwent an auditory perceptual evaluation of voice and answered questions regarding age, history of voice problems, history of voice surgery, smoking history and hearing loss. Participants were instructed to rate their perceived vocal effort in conversational speech using the OMNI\u2010VES. Multivariant analysis was conducted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Two hundred and fifty\u2010one participants were recruited. The majority of adults without voice complaints reported that producing conversational voice was within the \u201cextremely easy\u201d to \u201ceasy\u201d range, 0\u20133 (92.4%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study provides preliminary data for perceived vocal effort. The OMNI\u2010VES may be a useful tool in understanding changes in perceived vocal effort as a result of treatment for voice disorders. Further normative data are needed between sexes, across the gender spectrum, and older adult populations. Future directions include examining the magnitude of difference between numeric values on the scale and use of the scale with other dysphonic populations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title><jats:p>3 <jats:italic>Laryngoscope<\/jats:italic>, 134:3726\u20133731, 2024<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.31464","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,30]],"date-time":"2024-04-30T07:19:25Z","timestamp":1714461565000},"page":"3726-3731","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Adult Normative Data for the <scp>OMNI\u2010Vocal<\/scp> Effort Scale (<scp>VES<\/scp>)"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"134","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2220-6846","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariah E.","family":"Morton\u2010Jones","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"UAB Voice Center, Department of Otolaryngology\u2010Head and Neck Surgery University of Alabama  Birmingham Alabama U.S.A."},{"name":"School of Kinesiology Auburn University  Auburn Alabama U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7746-217X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lauren","family":"Timmons Sund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"USC Voice Center, Department of Otolaryngology\u2010Head and Neck Surgery University of Southern California  Los Angeles California U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8904-8806","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.
