In this study, a novel method based on the voice intensity of a speech signal is used for automatic pathology detection with continuous speech. The proposed method determines the peaks from the speech signal to form a voice contour. The area under the voice contour allows us to discrim- inate between normal and disordered subjects. In the case of disordered subjects, the calculated area under the voice contour is lower than that for a normal subject due to the malfunctioning of vocal folds, which makes the voice weaker and breathier.
Background and Objective: Imams, who lead prayers for Muslims, are considered among professional voice users. They have high vocal demand during their prayer times, Khutbah, and educating sessions for Muslims. The aim of this study is to explore the prevalence of voice disorders in Imams and to analyze their psychosocial aspects in relation to their profession using the Arabic Voice Handicap Index.
