Spasmodic Dysphonia
Spasmodic dysphonia is a voice disorder in which the muscles of the larynx undergo involuntary contractions that alter speech. The voice may sound strained, broken, or forced, without the person being able to control it.
How it presents: a broken or tight voice, interruptions when speaking, and greater effort to produce sounds, which usually vary depending on the situation.
When to seek care? An evaluation is advisable when the changes in the voice are persistent, hinder communication, or affect daily or work life.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist examines the larynx and voice function; the general practitioner can guide the first visit and refer if necessary. If your voice changed noticeably and stays that way, it is advisable to have it reviewed by a professional.
