This book describes modern multidimensional-quantitative methods in voice diagnosis based on EBM evidence and proposes an evidence-based minimal standard in voice diagnosis. It provides the necessary scientific background combined with practical implementation.
Current scientific findings from recent years provide speech-language pathologists, voice and speech therapists, as well as physicians in otolaryngology with new opportunities for the medical and therapeutic care of voice patients. Voice diagnostics and various voice treatments for heterogeneous voice disorders can thus be better integrated to apply structured clinical reasoning for voice treatment.
Plus: Numerous videos, audios, and downloadable work materials facilitate implementation in practice.
