Laryngeal Nerve Damage
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When the voice changes noticeably or hoarseness appears that doesn't improve, it's worth looking into what's causing it. Damage to the laryngeal nerves affects the nerves that control the muscles of the larynx, which are responsible for the voice and for protecting the airway when swallowing.
Common symptoms: hoarseness or changes in the voice, a feeling of choking when speaking, difficulty swallowing, and, at times, coughing when eating or drinking.
Common causes: it can result from surgery on the neck or chest, infections, trauma, or processes that compress these nerves.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the one who evaluates the larynx and voice function. If the hoarseness persists or you notice trouble swallowing, a professional evaluation helps identify the cause.
