Voice Difficulties
A voice is unique to each individual, and is created by vibrations made by our vocal chords (also known as vocal folds). A voice difficulty is often discovered when someone hears a problem or notices a change in the way their voice sounds. It can be too weak or quiet, hoarse sounding, losing one’s voice partway through a day, rough or breathy sounding, etc. Our speech-language pathologists at The Speech Clinic can assess the qualities of a presenting voice difficulty and complete therapy to help remedy the voice difficulty. An assessment by an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist is necessary to diagnose or rule out any organic reasons for having a voice difficulty such as vocal nodules or polyps. Our speech-language pathologist will likely recommend an ENT assessment visit if one has not been completed already.
