A simple test of glottic efficiency is Maximum Phonation Time (MPT) . MPT is the maximum time (in seconds) for which a person can sustain a vowel sound when produced on one deep breath at a relatively comfortable pitch and loudness.Like the S/Z Ratio, this is a quick and simple aerodynamic measure. Using a stopwatch, time (in seconds) how long the client can sustain the vowel. 2  Record the time as the duration of 1st âahâ . 3  Repeat Step 1 and record the time as duration of 2nd âahâ . 4  Repeat Step 1 and record the time as duration of 3rd âahâ . 5  The MPT is the longest duration âahâ of the three attempts.
