Abstract
This study was investigate the usefulness of the DSI according to gender. The present study evaluated DSI in Korean population and Thirty voluntary participants (15 males, 15 females) who had G0 on the Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenics, Strain(GRBAS) and lived in Kyunggi-Do or Seoul, from March 2011 to June 2011. Maximum phonation time, the Highest fundamental frequency, the Lowest intensity, and Jitter(%) were measured using CSL 4500(Kay Pentax. USA). The experimenter explained the subjects the experimental condition and procedures and demonstrated the procedures, prior to the experiment. The result of in this study showed that the difference between males and females were not significants, although the Fhi was higher for females than for males. Therefore, We conclude that the DSI is a useful instrument to objectively measure the severity of dysphonia.
