Voice Disorders - Diagnosis and Treatment
Voice problems can result from structural changes in the voice mechanism (e.g., vocal nodules), neurological problems (e.g., vocal fold paralysis) or from improper or inefficient use of the vocal mechanism (e.g., muscle tension dysphonia).
In our clinic we provide clinical and acoustic voice assessments. The laryngeal endoscopic imaging exams (e.g., videostroboscopy) are completed by outside medical providers (i.e., ENTs).
Voice evaluation at our clinic
Before initiation of voice treatment, each patient undergoes a comprehensive clinical and acoustic voice evaluation at our clinic.
- Voice history interview
- Perceptual analysis of voice quality, voice production, resonance strategies and voice range profile examination
- Acoustic measurements of voice signal
- Manual assessment of larynx and laryngeal suspension system
