Cross-sectional research reports mild voice handicap in adolescents, highlighting the need for better assessment tools.
This preliminary study provides self-reported VHI values in early adolescents, indicating generally mild handicap in healthy individuals but higher perceived impact among those with self-perceived pubertal voice change. While based on a small symptomatic subgroup, the findings offer early insights that can guide future multicenter studies and the development of adolescent-appropriate validated tools.
