Copyright policy )The Effects of Adenoidectomy and Tonsillectomy on Speech and Nasal Resonance
This article presents a review of literature concerning speech and nasal resonance following adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy. In order to comprehend speech-related postoperative changes, the role of the adenoid and the tonsils in speech is discussed as well as the concept of veloadenoidal closure separating oral and nasal cavities. Moreover, the effects of adenoidal and tonsillar hypertrophy on speech and nasal resonance are debated.
