Hoarse voices can be classified into rough or breathy categories based on auditory-perceptual judgments. It is known that the primary cause of breathy voices is simply the insufficiency of vocal fold closure during vocalization. However, the mechanism causing rough voices is not defined by a single factor, as is the case with breathy voices. Rough voices are related to a combination of factors such as the irregular vibration patterns of the vocal cords or their surroundings, as well as the pitch of the voice. Therefore, there is no single characteristic of the voice waveform of rough voices, and no acoustic measures have been able to objectively evaluate them.
The ARI developed by our group incorporates parameters for subharmonics, which are not included in conventional indices, into a regression equation based on an existing database, dramatically improving diagnostic accuracy. This study aims to evaluate the generalizability of its high diagnostic accuracy.

Diagnostic accuracy
or all samples registered in this study, an auditory-perceptual evaluation will be conducted to assess the degree of rough hoarseness on a scale of 0 to 3 (R score). Samples with an average R score of 0.5 or higher from three or more evaluators will be classified as having rough hoarseness, while those with lower scores will be classified as not having rough hoarseness. ROC analysis will be performed using ARI, and the diagnostic accuracy will be evaluated based on the AUC value from the ROC analysis.
Diagnostic Accuracy of ARI for Roughness
For all samples registered in this study, an auditory-perceptual judgment will be conducted to assess the degree of roughness on a scale of 0 to 3 (R score). Samples with an average R score of 0.5 or higher from three or more evaluators will be classified as having roughness, while those with lower scores will be classified as not having roughness. ROC analysis will be performed using ARI, and the diagnostic accuracy will be evaluated based on the AUC value from the ROC analysis.
