- (1) Consistent deviations exist in one or more of the parameters of voice: pitch, quality, or volume;
- (2) The voice is discrepant from the norm for age, gender, or culture and is distracting to the listener; and
- (3) The disorder is not the result of a temporary problem, such as normal voice changes, allergies, colds, or similar conditions.
