Abstract Teachers are more likely to develop voice disorders compared to non-teachers in other occupations. They are often cited as a high-risk group for vocal dysfunction. They use their voices extensively over their profession for instructing and managing students. The aim of our study was to compare between genders (male –female teachers) in primary schools to show the effect of teaching and other risk factors on their voice for proper management. Our study consisted of a random sample of elementary school teachers, which included a similar number of males and females divided in two groups (GI) included 100 male teachers and (GII) included 100 female teachers. Each individual of both groups were subjected to the following survey study including this data (Patient Interview and history taking, Auditory Perceptual Assessment (APA) and Voice Handicap Index VHI). |
