其他摘要：Introduction Hearing loss can affect aspects related to voice, due to changes in vocal control caused
by reduced or absent auditory feedback. Objective: To present a review on the voice of the hearing impaired
over the last 12 years. Methods The literature was conducted on articles available at the Lilacs, Scielo
and Pubmed / Medline databases with the following keywords: voice, hearing impairment, voice quality,
deafness, hearing aids and cochlear implants, and words in the English language during the period from
2003 to 2015. Results the terms used in the study were crosswise and present in 829 articles. From this
total, 157 articles were relevant to the study. By the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 26 articles were
selected. From the ones selected for this review, 13 address the cochlear implant issue; seven deal with
the use of cochlear implant and the hearing aid (HA) in the same study; four refer exclusively to the topic
and two showed data on hearing impaired participants without electronic device. Conclusion The results
show the prevalence of studies associated with the vocal quality of cochlear implant users, emphasizing
different aspects, such as onset of hearing loss, the time of sensory deprivation and rehabilitation
approach, among others, as important factors for the development of acoustic feedback necessary for
monitoring voice. They also emphasize the good results obtained by cochlear implant users, in regards
to the vocal aspects.
