PURPOSE: This study investigated whether clinicians could detect voice changes reported by teachers, from self-ratings teachers conducted of their inability to produce soft voice (IPSV). METHODS: Ten teachers wore a vocal dosimeter and completed daily IPSV ratings approximately every 2 hours for 14 days. Following the 2 weeks of dosimetry, two speech clinicians specialized in voice rated the teachers' IPSV from dosimeter recordings. Teacher and clinician ratings were compared for each participant. RESULTS: Although agreement between teacher and clinician ratings was not significant, descriptive analyses demonstrated an average difference score of 1.7 (SD 1.4) between teacher and clinician ratings. CONCLUSIONS: This study supports the potential usefulness of the IPSV as a simple tool to detect voice changes in oneself or others.
