Voice disorders cover various disturbances in the sound, pitch, or effort of speaking, which make the voice sound hoarse, weak, choppy, or change in a persistent way.
Common symptoms: prolonged hoarseness, vocal fatigue, a sense of effort when speaking, loss of volume, or changes in the usual pitch.
Common causes: excessive or strained use of the voice, irritation, nodules or polyps on the vocal cords, reflux, or inflammatory processes.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist evaluates the vocal cords and the larynx, while the audiologist and voice therapy support rehabilitation. If the voice changes for more than a few weeks without a clear cause, it is advisable to have it checked by a professional.
