Abstract:
Objective To study the objective changes and effects of speech characteristics in patients with nasal endoscopic surgery,and to analyze the relationship between surgery and changes in vocal tract structure.Methods A prospective study was conducted on 45 patients who underwent nasal endoscopic surgery from June 2023 to December 2023.Among them,13 patients underwent nasal septum deviation correction surgery and/or nasal polypectomy and/or turbinate shaping surgery group(G1 group),11 patients underwent simple sinus opening surgery group(G2 group),and 21 patients underwent nasal sinus opening+nasal septum deviation correction surgery and/or nasal polypectomy and/or nasal turbinate shaping surgery group(G3 group).Spectrogram detection was completed before and 1 month after surgery.Nasal resistance(Refft value),acoustic indicators resonance peak frequency(F1-F4),bandwidth(B1-B4),difference between F1 amplitude and nasal murmur resonance peak amplitude(A1-P0),and difference between F1 and nasal murmur resonance peak amplitude(A1-P1)under different sound tasks(oral vowels,nasal vowels,and phrases and short sentences containing nasal vowels)were analyzed.Results After surgery,there was no significant change in the acoustic indicators in any of the groups,and the Refft value significantly decreased.The change in the resonance peak of oral vowels was not significant,but the bandwidth significantly decreased.A1-P1 in each group showed an upward trend after surgery,while A1-P0 showed a downward trend after surgery.Among them,A1-P1 in G1 group showed a significant increase compared to preoperative levels in/ma/,/na/,/mi/,and/ni/,and A1-P0 showed a significant decrease in/ma/and/na/compared to preoperative levels.There were statisti-cally significant differences in A1-P0 between G2 group and preoperative group in both/ma/and/na/.The A1-P1 levels in G3 group showed significant differences compared to preoperative levels in/mi/and/ni/,and A1-P0 showed significant differences compared to preoperative levels in/ma/and/na/.Conclusion Nasal endoscopic surgery may have a measurable impact on the patient's speech.The spectrogram can be used to evaluate the postoperative pronuncia-tion characteristics of nasal endoscopy,with A1-P1 being a better measurement indicator for high vowels/i/and A1-P0 being a better measurement indicator for non high vowels/a/.
