Objectives: To report the incidence of allergic rhinitis in singers with nonspecific laryngeal examination findings and to correlate the incidence of allergic rhinitis with their vocal symptoms when present. Design: A retrospective review of all the medical records of singers with nonspecific laryngeal findings who presented to a specialty voice center for either vocal training or therapy between June 2002 and September 2005. Setting: Specialty voice center. Participants: Forty-five singers with nonspecific laryngeal findings who presented to a specialty voice center for either vocal training or therapy. Main Outcome Measures: A standardized validated Results: The total prevalence of allergic rhinitis was 87% (39 of 45 subjects). The singers with vocal symptoms were approximately 1.5% more likely to have allergic rhinitis than those with no vocal symptoms (92% vs 84%). Singers with more than 2 vocal symptoms had a 25% higher likelihood of having allergic rhinitis. questionnaire for evaluation of allergic rhinitis was filled out by all the subjects. A score above 0 was considered positive. Conclusions: The incidence of allergic rhinitis in singers is extremely high. Hidden respiratory allergies may affect the professional voice. Proper awareness and a multidisciplinary approach are indispensable for proper diagnosis and treatment.
