This study correlated measures of nasalance computed by the Nasometer with listener judgments of nasality. The subjects were 25 children with craniofacial disorders who spoke three passages, each containing a different proportion of nasal consonants. The results showed a significant but modest correlation between nasalance and nasality when nasal consonants (/m, n, eta/) were not included in the speech passage. When nasal consonants were included in the passage nasalance was unrelated to judgments of hypernasality.
