Voice Related Quality of Life (V-RQOL)

How to complete this Questionnaire:

  • We are trying to learn more about how a voice problem can interfere with your daily activities.
  • Please answer all questions based upon what your voice has been like over the past 2 weeks. There are no “right” or “wrong” answers.
  • Considering both how severe the problem is when you get it, and how frequently it happens, please rate each item below on how “bad” it is (that is, the amount of each problem you have).
