Abstract

We analyze the crying voice of ADEL children before and after the Correction of the glosso-larynx (CGL) and clarify the difference to detect severe ADEL infants who have difficulty raising children. We recorded crying voices before and after CGL for infants who came to Mukai Clinic in hope of CGL, and cut out crying voices with less noise from the voice file.

In the analysis, we calculated five emotional features by Sensibility Technology (ST) software and four features related to sound quality by Praat software from voices. The mean value of each feature value before and after surgery was compared and examined by t-test for each of the 69 participants whose effective crying voice was confirmed before and after CGL treatment. As a result, significant differences were observed in some feature values. This result indicates that the crying voice changes depending on the displacement of the tongue and larynx.
