Description
Sinus surgery opens air paths near the voice box's echo chambers, so singers and speakers fear voice change. Meha Fox and co-authors measure that change in a 2026 study of six adults. Voice takes were logged before and after surgery.
Two pitch-shaping measures shifted for one nasal sound in a firm way. Several other shifts passed the size that clinicians call meaningful. Jitter, shimmer, and listener ratings did not move in a firm way. The small group likely hides real effects from firm proof. Bigger studies are planned to settle which changes patients will notice.
