Abstract
Perceptive assessment is the most often used tool in diagnostics and evaluation of effectiveness of voice therapy in everyday clinical setting, even in centers that have rich choice of objective and subjective methods that can be used with the same purpose. Although the contribution of the acoustic analysis in diagnostics and quantification of abbreviation of specific features of voice quality is huge because it enables objective and uniformed documentation of clinical work, perceptive voice assessment is inevitable in the sense of interpretation of the results of objective analysis of voice quality, as well of making the decisions concerning future arrangements. This paper represents an effort to underline the positive and negative sides of perceptual voice assessment as described in recent literature and an opportunity to once again raise the constant question in the field of voice disorders – can we trust the ear when describing voice quality?
