The study participants were classified into two groups according to the disease severity. Group1 comprised 212 survivors who recovered from pneumonia and group 2 was made up of 152 survivors of severe pneumonia. All patients were subjected to an auditory perceptual assessment of the voice (APA) and Maximum Phonation Time (MPT) measurements.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Phonasthenic manifestations were significantly more frequent in COVID-19 survivors than in controls (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.000) with a higher percentage recorded among severe pneumonia survivors (87.5%) than among pneumonia survivors (60.8%) with a <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> value of\u2009&lt;\u20090.01.

The MPT was significantly shorter among survivors than among controls (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.000). The mean MPT was 15.97\u00a0s in the control group, 10.72\u00a0s in the pneumonia group, and 8.88\u00a0s in the severe pneumonia group, with the differences between the groups being statistically significant (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.000), suggesting a higher impairment of lung volume and phonatory function in severe cases.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Phonasthenia, dysphonia, and decreased MPT could be otolaryngological manifestations of COVID-19.
