Are Auditory-Perceptual Evaluations of Dysphonia by Experienced Voice Clinicians Affected by Knowledge of Speaker Race?
These findings suggest that experienced, voice-focused SLPs demonstrated a minimizing bias in their auditory-perceptual ratings of dysphonia of Black speakers. This bias is small and may not be clinically significant but, in some cases, could contribute to worse clinical care of Black people with voice disorders.
