Abstract
The goal of this study was to determine if there is a correlation between clinician measures of voice disorder severity and patients’ perceived impact of their voice disorders through a retrospective analysis of patients evaluated at the UTHSC Hearing and Speech Center from 2015 to 2019. The Consensus Auditory Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V), a clinician rating scale, and the Voice Handicap Index (VHI), a self-rating form, were reviewed for eighty-nine patients diagnosed with dysphonia and who met the criteria. Results of the Pearson Product Moment Correlation determined a significant correlation between the two measures (r-.558, p
