The authors propose a standardized model of phoniatric consultations aimed at certifying occupational diseases of the organ of voice. The study included the administration of an expanded questionnaire, laryngological and phoniatric examinations, stroboscopy and determination of the voice acoustic parameters essential in assessing the phonatory function of the larynx. A four-scale hoarness by Yanagihara was employed in the consulting examination and the measurement was taken for three vowels. The model presented should facilitate the diagnosis of occupational diseases of the voice organ.
