Fig. 11. Position of the examiner while the sounds produced by the 

 vocal cords are being compared. The drawing illustrates the method of 

 placing the two chest pieces equidistant from the larynx. The right vocal 

 cord in this example is paralyzed and does not vibrate normally. The nor- 

 mal (left) cord produces a more intense sound than the defective (right) 

 cord and the sound is lateralized to the normal (left) side. The examiner 

 places himself in a similar position directly behind the patient when he 

 examines the antra. The louder sounds are lateralized to the normal or 

 unaffected side.
