My final dissertation project has now been published in #JSLHR! I thoroughly enjoyed writing this paper and ruminating on the findings. Results provide insights on the role that personality has on daily voice use behaviors commonly associated with phonotrauma #nodules

Relationships between personality, daily speaking voice use, & #phonotrauma in singers, by Laura Toles et al. Singers w/ nodules are more socially dominant & impulsive than vocally healthy singers. https://t.co/vmdGf6S2wi @toleshouse @kmarks6 @MGHVoiceCenter @mghihp @ihpresearch

New publication!⬇️ We validated a simple voice therapy motivation and voice perception inventory that can be used in clinical voice evals. We then used the inventory before and after voice stimulability testing, and it was clear that stimulability testing improved motivation!

Voice stimulability testing improves patients' motivation for voice therapy and how they perceive their voice, according to new #AJSLP study

@BriceCollin @mikeywaters3 My church in Dallas is very openly accepting of LGBTQ individuals/couples. It’s a very accepting and affirming community.

[Laura Toles, PhD, CCC-SLP @Toleshouse]

@BriceCollin @mikeywaters3 PCUSA has allowed ordination of LGBTQ ministers since 2011, and they officially changed their policy to allow same-sex marriage in 2015.

Perhaps ML compression is a resourceful, rather than maladaptive, compensatory strategy to reduce perceptions of physical effort in the setting of heavy vocal demands for people with MTD

[Laura Toles, PhD, CCC-SLP @Toleshouse]

I'm excited to share the publication of a project that Adrianna Shembel @UT_Larynx_Lab and I worked on together - the first of many!

[ASHA Journals @ASHAJournals]

How does vocal effort relate to voice output & physiology in those w/ muscle tension dysphonia? Check out this new article by Laura Toles in #AJSLP to find out! https://t.co/IOutkPH569

Patients with MTD who reported higher vocal effort tended to have lower CPP and *lower* mediolateral supraglottic compression following vocal load.

[Laura Toles, PhD, CCC-SLP @Toleshouse]

@Brett_SLP Oh wow! Lmk if you make it up to Dallas sometime!

@DrVanVoiceMan @MBTA @7News My gosh Jarrad! Glad you are ok. I heard the orange line caught on fire yesterday too.

We are conducting a clinical practice survey to better understand how #SLPs use stimulability testing when assessing and treating patients with voice disorders. If you are an SLP who does voice therapy, we would love to include your voice! https://t.co/3FT9I8U5wK
