| Abstract;This study was performed with the following two goals. First, a survey was conducted to determine common modes of treatment for varying degrees of sulcus vocalis. A questionnaire was sent to 34 clinicians in the United States, and 28 responses (82%) were obtained. From the survey, I learned that surgical intervention becomes more common as the severity of the condition increases. Of the various facilitating techniques recommended by Boone, place the voice and respiration technique are among the popular options. The pushing exercise was one of the least frequent adopted. Second, to test the efficacy of voice therapy in the treatment of sulcus vocalis I carried out the following study. The subjects were 4 male patients diagnosed with bilateral moderate sulcus vocalis. The perceptual quality of these patients' voices was primarily breathy and strained. Place the voice was the therapy technique used for this study. Therapy was continued over 3 months. After therapy, the following results were obtatined: 1. Perception: breathiness and strained decreased with GRBAS rating. 2. Laryngeal findings: decreased prominence of false vocal cords, and improved glottal closure. 3. Acoustic evaluation: clearer formants and reduced noise components in post-therapy spectrogram.
