Diseases of the vocal apparatus in military personnel: modern diagnostics and objectification of treatment results

The article is devoted to evaluating the effectiveness of diagnostic methods for objectifying the results of treatment of patients with pathology of the vocal apparatus - endovideolaryngoscopy, stroboscopy in combination with an acoustic voice analyzer, the search for objective criteria for evaluating the results of restoring voice function. Sixty-nine military personnel were examined: 47 (68%, group 1) with organic dysphonia, who underwent surgical treatment; 22 (32%, group 2) needed conservative treatment. The study of the sonority of the voice during the military-medical examination was performed before and after treatment. The authors used criteria for computer acoustic analysis of the voice in the volume of Vospector, using the index of dysphonia (DSI). The LingWAVES Vospector system makes it possible to objectively diagnose and evaluate the effectiveness of the vocal apparatus treatment, and therefore it is advisable to use it as an additional method when conducting a military medical examination of military personnel with laryngeal pathology.
