Improvement in Recurrent Dysphonia Associated with the Regular Use of a Robot Vacuum: A Case Study

ABSTRACT This case study describes the experience of a woman in her late 40s with chronic recurrent episodes of dysphonia. The patient reported that the purchase and use of a robot vacuum resulted in a significant decrease in the levels of dust in her home, particularly in locations she found difficult to clean thoroughly with a conventional vacuum (e.g., under the bed). She observed a concomitant decrease in a previously established pattern of work-related dysphonia, reporting fewer days of atypical voice quality and no episodes of aphonia across a one-year period. For patients whose dysphonia is exacerbated by environmental allergens, use of a robot vacuum is an automated, relatively inexpensive strategy to consider as a possible adjunct to more conventional approaches.
