Abstract

This article provides concise reviews of widely-used quality of life (QOL) instruments for use with persons with voice disorders. Designed primarily for English-speaking persons, the reviewed instruments are delineated by title and population served, i.e. adult or paediatric. Each review reports the purpose of the QOL instrument as well as its psychometric soundness. Future voice-related QOL instruments are briefly considered. Finally, the appendices include tables with currently-available translations and known readability information. This article will serve as a reference for physicians and speech-language pathologists seeking to assess the voice-related QOL of their patients.
