Voice Disorders and Their Impact on Life Satisfaction Among Teachers

Anca HORJ
Abstract

Vocal problems among teachers are a common consequence of prolonged vocal strain during teaching activities. The study included 217 teachers from preschool, primary, secondary, high school, and university levels, who completed online the Voice Handicap Index – 10 (VHI-10) and the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). Results show that 74% of participants reported that their voice frequently affects their ability to achieve professional goals, while 4.6% reported that it always does. Statistical analysis indicates that female gender, lack of vocal hygiene habits, prolonged voice use, classroom noise, and high student numbers significantly increase the risk of vocal disorders. Vocal dysfunction negatively impacts both professional performance and overall quality of life, highlighting the importance of early identification of risk factors and the implementation of preventive interventions
