The average score of VHI-10 was 16.2\u2009\u00b1\u20096.5, and approximately three-quarters of participants scored above the cut-off point. There were no significant correlations between age, years of instrument playing, average hours of daily practice, and VHI-10. Participants with neck symptoms had significantly higher VHI-10 scores. Those (around one-fifth) with an external neck swelling during Valsalva maneuver had a significantly higher VHI-10 score. Dysphonia, mainly mild and of strained, leaky quality, was detected in almost one-third of participants. While the instrument was being played, the vocal folds were somewhat adducted, and the vocal tract became more compressed as the task became more demanding. The most frequent observations in the vocal tract examination were hyperemia of the vocal folds or all over the laryngeal and pharyngeal mucosa, excessive secretions over the vocal folds, signs of hyperadduction, arytenoid edema, and phonatory waste.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Wind instrumentalists frequently experience voice disorders, which necessitate further care and investigation.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-024-08755-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,8]],"date-time":"2024-07-08T20:21:54Z","timestamp":1720470114000},"page":"4903-4911","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Screening of voice and vocal tract changes in professional wind instrument players"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"281","author":[{"given":"Ahmed M.","family":"El-Demerdash","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nirvana G.","family":"Hafez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanaa N.","family":"Tanyous","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kerollos M.","family":"Rezk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5132-2507","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariam S.","family":"Shadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"8755_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"64","DOI":"10.23925\/2176-2724.2020v32i1p64-72","volume":"32","author":"AC Ghirardi","year":"2020","unstructured":"Ghirardi AC, de AM, Goulart IMC, de Ribeiro A S (2020) Voice and vocal tract of wind instrumentalists: integrative literature review.
