Macrophenomenology of Voice

As the sun’s trajectory, the North Star, and the magnetic compass are to navigation, so macrophenomenologies are to the diagnostic process that we use at our practice (see: integrative diagnostic model). Particular vocal macrophenomenologies might include things like: audible air-wasting, a three-second maximum phonation time, positive swelling checks, and latency of response.

Elicited macrophenomenologies of the voice such as these, taken together, orient the examiner to a specific diagnosis.

By contrast, see microphenomenology. Also, see elicitation.
