Purpose: The aim of this pilot study was to explore the efficacy of an intensive 3 week water resistance phonation (WRP) therapy program for people with presbyphonia. Method: Participants included 13 people with presbyphonia who received intensive WRP therapy. All participants completed eight sessions of therapy over 3 weeks. Auditory perceptual ratings, and acoustic and aerodynamic assessments were performed before and after treatment. Participants also completed the voice-related quality of life questionnaire before and after the treatment. Result: After 3 weeks of intensive voice therapy, significant improvements were demonstrated in acoustic, aerodynamic, and auditory perceptual parameters, as well as patient perceptions of voice-related quality of life. Acoustically, it was found there were significant decreases in shimmer (p = 0.019), noise-to-harmonic ratio (p = 0.016), and smoothed cepstral peak prominence (p = 0.001). Perceptually, the clients with presbyphonia showed significant reductions in the ratings of the overall grade, roughness, asthenia, and strain. Moreover, there was a significant increase in the total score of the Mandarin version of the Voice-Related Quality of Life measure post-therapy. Conclusion: The investigation provides preliminary evidence that people with presbyphonia can improve their vocal function and voice-related quality of life through intensive WRP therapy within a short period of time.
