RESULTS: 50 professors (46 Women; 4 men), age between 20-39 (n-26), 40-59 (n-22), > 60 (n-2); education level: basic (n-8), medium (n-27), basic/average (n-24), childhood (n-6), superior (n-1); Journey: < 20 hours (n-6), 20-39 hours (n-23), > 40 hours (n-21); Time in the profession: <5 years (n-9), 5-10 (n-9), 10-20 (n-17), >20 (n-15); student for class: <20 (n-5), 20-40 (n-24), >40 (n-21). Medical Licence: 1-3 (n-18), 4-6 (n-7), > 6 (n-6), no one (n-27). Time of dysphonia: < 3 m (n-5), 3m-1 year (n-18), > 1 year (n-27),Frequency of the symptoms: permanents (n-36), sporadic (n-14); Evolution of the symptoms : gradual (n-44), suddenly (n-6); Factors of worsening: vocal abuse (n-45), extreme day (n-46), noise (n-27), pollutants (n-22), others (n-30); Symptoms associates: nasal-sinusal (n-34), gastroesophageal (n-26), auditory (n-10), others (n-18).
