No. | Sex | Age | Type of rehab. | Pitch (Hz) | Intensity (dB) | Jitter (%) | Shimmer (%) | SLT’s comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | M | 23 | Primary TEP | 143.0 | 70.3 | 3.5 | 19.8 | |
2. | M | 50 | Secondary TEP | 140.9 | 50 | 3.7 | 18.1 | Intensity is less compared to others |

4. | M | 72 | Primary TEP | 147.5 | 70.8 | 2.6 | 17.8 | |
5. | M | 78 | Electro larynx | 256.7 | 72.8 | 4.2 | 19.6 | Worst voice. Pitch, jitter and shimmer are very high |
6. | F | 55 | NTL | 242.8 | 70.5 | 3.4 | 18.0 | May be this is one of the best voice in terms of pitch and intensity. However jitter and shimmer values are a little high |
7. | M | 61 | Electro larynx | 115.3 | 69.3 | 1.7 | 14.4 | |
8. | M | 61 | Electro larynx | 94.0 | 68.3 | 1.4 | 13.9 | |

14. | M | 45 | Secondary TEP | 156.2 | 68.9 | 4.8 | 21.4 | |
15. | M | 52 | Oesophageal speech | 212.6 | 69.2 | 3.8 | 20.0 | Poor voice. High pitch and low intensity |
16. | M | 38 | Electrolarynx | 103.0 | 72.2 | 1.3 | 8.2 | |
17. | M | 52 | Secondary TEP | 118.9 | 72.4 | 3.8 | 13.3 | |

19. | M | 58 | Primary TEP | 182.2 | 78.8 | 2.9 | 17.3 | |
20. | M | 70 | Secondary TEP | 439.6 | 74.8 | 5.9 | 20.8 | High variation in pitch from one sample to another. Probably because of the noisy environment |
21. | M | 70 | Secondary TEP | 189.9 | 83.9 | 5.2 | 22.2 | |
22. | M | 70 | Secondary TEP | 124.6 | 84.1 | 3.5 | 33.1 | |

24. | M | 65 | NTLP | 102.2 | 91.2 | 5.3 | 15.4 | May be this is one of the best voice in terms of pitch and intensity. However jitter and shimmer values are little high |
