The high pitch voice in women is being poorly studied. The objective of this research is to establish a vocal profile of women with high pitch voices and determine the psychosocial discomfort that this symptom can trigger by comparing it with women with a voice with average fundamental frequency. Through a case-control design, a sample of 12 women with a fundamental frequency over 250 Hz was studied and compared with 24 women of fundamental frequency ranges within the norm (210-250 Hz.). In addition, in order to assess psychosocial discomforts, an evaluation survey (PEMUV) was applied. Significant differences were found between both groups in the fundamental frequency parameter in vowel / a / (p = 0.002), fundamental frequency in automatic language (p = 0.003), fundamental frequency in spontaneous language (p = 0.002), jitter (p = 0.05) and shimmer (0.00). In addition, in the analysis of the survey, there were significant differences in 12 out of 14 questions of this instrument. Finally, the answers to the open question were coded, evidencing family and work alterations, frustration and age confusion due to the high pitch. The present investigation managed to establish a profile of women with high pitch. According to the results obtained, women with high fundamental frequency present negative evaluation of the voice, as well as, emotional and social discomfort. La voz hiperaguda en mujeres es un trastorno de la voz poco estudiado. El objetivo de esta investigación es establecer un perfil vocal de mujeres con voces hiperagudas y determinar las molestias psicosociales que puede desencadenar este síntoma comparándolo con mujeres con voz con frecuencia fundamental promedio. Mediante un diseño de casos y controles se estudió una muestra de 12 mujeres con frecuencia fundamental sobre los 250 Hz. y se comparó con 24 mujeres de rangos de frecuencia fundamental dentro de la norma (210-250 Hz.). Además, para valorar las molestias psicosociales se les aplicó una encuesta de evaluación de la muda vocal (PEMUV). Se encontraron diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos en el parámetro frecuencia fundamental en vocal /a/ (p=0.002), frecuencia fundamental en lenguaje automático (p=0.003), frecuencia fundamental en lenguaje espontáneo (p=0.002), jitter (p=0.05) y shimmer (0.00). Además, en el análisis de la encuesta, si existieron diferencias significativas en 12 de las 14 preguntas de este instrumento. Por último, se codificaron las respuestas de la pregunta abierta, evidenciándose alteraciones familiares, laborales, frustración y confusión de edad debido a la voz hiperaguda. La presente investigación logró establecer un perfil de las mujeres con voces hiperagudas. De acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos, las mujeres con voz hiperaguda, presentan valoración negativa de la voz, molestias a nivel emocional y social.

- Abstract
Laryngeal neuropathy (LN) is characterized by hypersensitivity, hyperresponsiveness, and laryngeal hyperfunction secondary to an imbalance between the afferent and efferent components. The indi vidual and exaggerated response to a wide variety of specific triggers can lead to diverse symptoms. Literature in children is limited., Objective: To report a case of laryngeal neuropathy in a 5-year- old girl, to discuss the approach from the otolaryngologist's and speech therapist's perspective and the importance of its consideration among the differential diagnoses of chronic cough in pediatrics., Clinical Case: 5-year-old girl referred to otorhinolaryngology due to repeated crises of emetic cough with no specific cause identified. The episodes were associated with colds, choking sensation, and short-term inspiratory stridor. She was evaluated by several specialties. X-rays (nasopharynx, para nasal sinuses, and chest) and spirometry were performed without finding a cause or treatment that resolved the cough. In the ENT evaluation, possible triggers were identified such as having a sister with a congenital syndrome, exposure to perfumes, and air fresheners. Physical examination was normal. Flexible endoscopy shows incipient vocal fold nodules. After clinical suspicion of LN, she was referred to speech therapy for 5 weekly sessions. The patient received vocal hygiene education, cough suppression techniques, and breathing and relaxation exercises of the extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the larynx with favorable results at 2 years of follow-up., Conclusions: LN should be con sidered as a differential diagnosis of chronic cough in childhood when its most well-known causes and treatments do not lead to its resolution. The evaluation and speech therapy are the mainstay in the control of cough secondary to this entity in the pediatric age.
