School teachers have become a benchmark population for the study of occupational voice use. A decade of vibration dose studies on the teacher population allows a comparison to be made between specific dose measures for eventual assessment of damage risk.
Vibration dosimetry is re-formulated with the inclusion of collision stress. Two methods of estimating amplitude of vocal fold vibration are compared to capture variations in vocal intensity. Energy loss from collision is added to the energy dissipation dose. An Equal Energy Dissipation (EED) criterion is defined and used on the teacher corpus as a potential damage risk criterion.
Comparison of time, cycle, distance, and energy dose calculations for 57 teachers reveal a progression in information content in the ability to capture variations in duration, speaking pitch, and vocal intensity. The energy dissipation dose carries the greatest promise in capturing excessive tissue stress and collision, but also the greatest liability due to uncertainty in parameters. Cycle dose is least correlated with the other doses.
As a first guide to damage risk in excessive voice use, the equal energy dissipation dose criterion can be used to structure trade-off relations between loudness, adduction, and duration of speech.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 September 2023.
All research outputs
#10,180,760
of 34,363,559 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Speech, Language & Hearing Research
#1,592
of 4,509 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#91,562
of 311,890 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Speech, Language & Hearing Research
#9
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,363,559 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 70th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,509 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 311,890 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
