Diplophony

Diplophonia is a term used to describe a problem with the pronunciation of the “l” sound when it is pronounced simultaneously with another sound. This can happen due to various reasons such as misalignment of teeth or tongue, hearing impairment or neurological problems.

Diplophonia can manifest itself in various forms, including replacing the “l” sound with other sounds, such as “w” or “y.” It is also possible that the “l” sound will be pronounced too loudly or with the wrong tone.

Depending on the cause of diplophonia, treatment may include various methods, such as adjusting the position of the tongue or teeth, using hearing aids, or neurosurgery.

It is important to note that diplophonia may not be noticeable to others, but it can affect the quality of speech and communication. Therefore, if you have difficulty pronouncing the “l” sound, it is recommended to consult a specialist for diagnosis and treatment.

Diplophonia is a phonemic disorder characterized by the presence of two sounds that are not part of the normal sound range, combined into one sound. In some cases, it manifests itself as a violation of phonemic hearing and can lead to problems in speech perception.

The main cause of diplophonia is a change in the position of the vocal folds when pronouncing a sound. This may be associated with various diseases of the larynx, such as hyperplasia, polyps and cysts of the vocal apparatus. It can also be caused by anatomical abnormalities of the larynx and pharynx, such as cleft palate, micrognathia and others.

Symptoms of diplophonia are the presence of two sounds in one word that are inaudible to the normal ear, for example, “gr-gr” instead of “hr-hr”, or “pr-pr” instead of “b-b”. This causes speech and understanding problems for others, leading to difficulties in communication and learning.

The main method for diagnosing diplophonia is voice recordings and endoscopic examinations of the larynx. Auditory memory phonemes are used to assess the most frequently occurring phonemes. Patients with diplophonia may have difficulty producing certain sounds, and this may result in changes in intonation and rate of speech.

Treatment for diplophonia is aimed at eliminating the underlying cause of the disease. This may include
