Vocal characteristics of 5-year-old children: proposed normative values based on a French-speaking population †.

CONCLUSIONS: The lack of gender differences - other than for NHR on the vowel [a] - led us to propose mixed norms for 5-year-old boys and girls combined. IMPLICATIONS: These normative data will allow clinicians to compare children's voice assessments to specific references in order to enhance diagnostic accuracy and measure therapy outcomes.
