vocal resonance
vocal resonance n. the sounds heard through the stethoscope when the patient speaks. These are normally just audible but they become much louder (bronchophony) if the lung under the stethoscope is consolidated. Vocal resonance is lost over pleural fluid except at its upper surface, when it has a bleating quality (aegophony). See also pectoriloquy.
