- Abstract
Resonance disorders refer to too much or too little nasal/oral sound energy in the speech signal resulting from structural and neurological dysfunctions. Rhinolalia Aperta is a form of resonance disorder characterized by excessive airflow through nasal cavity during speech. Velopharyngeal dysfunction is the most common cause of Rhinolalia Aperta. The present case study illustrates a 35-year-old female with hypernasality due to the velopharyngeal insufficiency. Detailed evaluations were carried out to assess different parameters of speech, voice and language. The aims of the present study are to document nature and characteristics of speech, voice and language in those individual with Rhinolalia Aperta and illustrate importance of speech and language intervention in bringing better prognosis. Rhinolalia Aperta or hypernasal speech results with difficulty in articulation of the oral consonants especially sibilants thereby resulting in reduced speech intelligibility and various other sleeping and swallowing disorders. The present case illustrates a typical example of hypernasal speech and the role of speech and language pathologists in reduction of the hypernasality.
