COMPUTER science has affected the life of virtually every individual in the United States. The medical applications of this new technology are under searching investigation in the hope of providing improved health services with substantial savings in time and money. Multiphasic screening programs represent an important effort to emphasize the prevention and early detection of disease. In our own specialty these screening examinations include an audiometric test to detect any hearing disability. Similar audiometric studies are conducted in many school systems to discover early changes in hearing. By contrast, no effective screening procedures are available in laryngology.
Recent developments in diagnostic equipment augment the human factor in the diagnosis of laryngeal dysfunction by providing objective measurements of laryngeal function and voice. A stroboscopic examination is valuable for the discovery of vibratory changes, aerodynamic studies for quantitative examinations of laryngeal dysfunction, and acoustic tests for the detection of changes in vocal
