Effects of septoplasty on the acoustic parameters of voice

Conclusions Findings of this study indicate that nasal obstruction due to septal deviation contributed to hyponasality in voice. Nasalance scores increased in the post operative group suggesting an increase in nasal acoustic energy due to a decrease in nasal airway resistance and an increase in nasal area following corrective surgery on the septum.
