Medical advance research foundation conducts research and research training on the normal and disordered processes of hearing, voice, speech, and language.An active area of research is examining the dose of vibrational exposure that human vocal folds receive during phonation. Results lead to engineered vocal fold tissues that can withstand vibrational stress. We use our voices all day long, day in and day out. Singers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, nurses, sales people, and public speakers are among those who make great demands on their voices. Unfortunately, these indi iduals are most prone to experiencing voice problems. It is believed that 7.5 million people have diseases or disorders of voice. Some of these disorders can be avoided by taking care of your voice.
We followed Tolkappiyam Pirappial section to improve the efficiency of speech with out damaging the Vocal cord.
Pirappiyal - This is a section on articulatory phonetics
The field of articulatory phonetics is a subfield of phonetics. In studying articulation, phoneticians explain how humans produce speech sounds via the interaction of different physiological structures.. It talks about pronunciation methods of the phoneme.
Phoneme
In a language or dialect, a phoneme is the smallest segmental unit of sound employed to form meaningful contrasts between utterances.... at the level of stomach diaphragm, larynx Larynx
The larynx , colloquially known as the voicebox, is an organ in the neck of mammals involved in protection of the trachea and sound production..., jaws, tongue position, teeth, lips and ose. The visual representation of the letters is also explainedIn hu-
man language, a phoneme is a set of phones (speech sounds or sign elements) that are cognitively equivalent. ... A diaphragm is some sort of separating membrane...
The Bernoulli Effect provides an explanation of how the vocal folds actually vibrate. It is a common misconception that the vocal folds vibrate through repetitive muscular contractions. When the vocal folds are adducted during phonation, the air stream is momentarily stopped by the vocal folds. At this point subglottic pressure begins to build up below the vocal folds. This drop in pressure then sucks the vocal folds back
together. Subglottic pressure then builds up again and the process continues. This cycle of vocal folds motion create the air compressions and rarefactions that cause sound.
Our method of prevention of voice disorder is simple. The voice should originate from lower abdomen. We teach professionally how to bring voice from the lower abdomen and how to build up sub glottic pressure and how to articulate. Our studies of voice disorders focus on determining the nature, causes, diagnosis, and prevention of these disorders. These studies lead to the development of treatments and interventions that will improve the quality of life for those who are already challenged by severe voice disorders.
