New research suggests that teachers place unique demands on their voices, and that they may tend to gut it out, not seeking help until too late. Teacher-training programs ignore the subject of voice care, except at music schools--and even then, the knowledge is sometimes outdated. To top it off, classroom acoustics are often poor. Teachers are about twice as likely as nonteachers to suffer from a voice problem at some point - nearly 58 percent vs. less than 29 percent, according to a 2004 study in the Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research.
