Methods   Voice acoustic parameters of 52 patients with OSAHS who had received surgery were measured by Dr. Speech software. Results   The post-operative F0 and Jitter were not significantly differently(P>0.05), but the post-operative NNE and Shimmer of  “Ji” were significantly differently(P<0.05). Conclusion   Surgery  is no distinctive handicap to the voice function of  patients for  obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).
