The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the nasometer in diagnosing hypernasality in cleft palate patients. For this purpose the results of the nasometric examination of 30 patients with hypernasality were compared with the results obtained by using the currently taught methods. Sensitivity and specificity of nasometry were high with coefficients, respectively, of 0.80 and 1.00. Overall accuracy reached 0.90. Our results, which correspond almost exactly to those obtained in similar Anglo-American studies, demonstrate that also in German-speaking countries the nasometer can be a reliable instrument for diagnosing hypernasality. Moreover, the nasometer presents the possibility of calculating the extent of hypernasality during routine examination and diagnosis.
本研究的目的是评估鼻测量仪在诊断腭裂患者鼻音过重方面的可靠性和有效性。为此，将30例鼻音过重患者的鼻测量检查结果与采用当前教学方法获得的结果进行了比较。鼻测量法的敏感性和特异性较高，系数分别为0.80和1.00。总体准确率达到0.90。我们的结果几乎与类似的英美研究结果完全一致，表明在德语国家，鼻测量仪也可以成为诊断鼻音过重的可靠工具。此外，鼻测量仪提供了在常规检查和诊断过程中计算鼻音过重程度的可能性。
