Reliability and validity of the Turkish CHILDREN’S voice handicap INDEX-10 (TR-CVHI-10)

During voice production, there can be some problems which are not in correspondence with age and gender and/or there can be some changes in voice quality, pitch, loudness, resonance and duration limiting individuals' communication. Thus, all these result in dysphonia [1]. As dysphonia affects speech intelligibility, %6 of people having dysphonia have also communication problems no matter how old they are and what their gender is [2]. Therefore, treatment of pediatric dysphonia plays a key role in preventing the problems that can occur in puberty and adulthood [3].
