Occupational voice is a work in progress: active risk management, habilitation and rehabilitation
1Department ENT Surgery, School of Clinical Sciences (Monash Health), Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Purpose Of Review:
The current article reviews recent literature examining occupational voice use and occupational voice disorders (January 2018-July 2019).
Recent Findings:
Our understanding of the prevalence of voice disorders and work-related vocal use, vocal load and vocal ergonomics (environmental and person influences) across different occupations is continuing to build. There is encouraging evidence for the value of intervention programs for occupational voice users, particularly of late with performers, teachers and telemarketers. Education and prevention programs are emerging for other 'at risk' occupations.
Summary:
Occupational health and workforce legislation does not adequately acknowledge and guide educational, preventive and intervention approaches to occupational voice disorders. Voice disorders are prevalent in certain occupations and there is an urgent need for research to support occupational voice health and safety risk measurement, prevention and intervention. Large population-based studies are required with a focus on the health and economic burden of occupational voice disorders.
