It is well understood that hearing plays an important role in accurate vocal production. Singers in particular rely on auditory cues and auditory feedback to reproduce specific pitch contours. Therefore, even mild hearing loss may have a detrimental effect on a singer's ability to perform. This study investigates the effect of hearing loss on self-reported vocal production in singers, specifically in the domains of pitch matching, pitch maintenance, vowel production, and dynamic control as well as the effect of hearing loss on vocal handicap.
