Occupational Voice User Data

May 15, 2020

.

As an occupational voice user, you are more susceptible to a voice disorder than others because you constantly use your voice for your job.

.

Lifetime risk of developing a voice disorder is 30% with an estimated point prevalence of 3-9% of the US population (Roy, Merrill, Gray, & Smith, 2005; Verdolini & Ramig, 2001).

.

If you cannot use your vocal instrument for your job &/or it doesn’t function adequately for you to succeed at your work, your quality of life decreases as does your job performance and job attendance. As a result in most cases, so does your income (lost wages, doctor’s visits, & treatment expenses).

.

If you cannot use your voice efficiently and effectively, your personal, occupational, emotional, professional, & financial life can change dramatically.

.

Don’t let it get that far. REALIZE your important role as an #occupationalvoiceuser in PRIORITIZING YOUR VOICE. If you don’t do it, no one else will do it for you. #ownyourpower

I am here to HELP you because THIS IS MY PASSION. The VOICE is such a beautiful & miraculous mechanism that is impacted by so much: anatomy, genetics, stress, emotion, environmental factors, hydration, vocal use patterns & habits, psychological/personality factors, job requirements, and tension (just to name a few). Prioritize learning about optimizing your vocal health, vocal use, & vocal dynamics for your job and daily life. Let your goal be to not be counted in that statistic. 🙌🏼🗣💗
