Abstract
There is little known about the effects that voice disorders have on disrupting the every day routine and long-term lifestyle of individuals afflicted with these conditions. We have developed a questionnaire designed to elicit information not only about symptoms and clinical diagnoses of voice disorders, but also about the effects these conditions may have on the ability of voice impaired individuals to function at work, with their families, in social interactions, and on their psychological well-being. This paper will describe the preliminary results of these findings.
