Voice Evaluation and Therapy

Voice disorders affect your ability to speak clearly. They’re usually the result of overusing your voice or issues with your voice box or vocal cords. Most people can overcome voice disorders with voice therapy, though some will need medical or surgical treatment.

What are voice disorders?

Voice disorders affect your ability to speak normally. They may change the quality, pitch, or loudness of your voice. A voice disorder can prevent you from communicating with others or expressing yourself, which can have a serious impact on your quality of life.

What are the categories of voice disorders?

Voice disorders typically fall into one of the following categories, but they may overlap:

• Functional: The structures that produce vocal sounds — your voice box, vocal cords, and lungs — are normal, but you have problems using them. Functional disorders are usually the result of not being able to use your vocal cord muscles.
• Organic: There are problems with the structure of your voice box, vocal cords, or lungs. Organic disorders are usually structural (such as abnormal growths on your larynx) or neurological (another disorder affects the nerves that control your larynx).
• Psychogenic: Although rare, some voice disorders develop due to emotional stress or trauma. They might be the result of anxiety, depression, or conversion disorder.
• Neurogenic: These are caused by damage to the nerves that control the vocal cords.

What does a voice therapist do?

Our experienced therapists at Merfish, a leading clinic in Chennai for voice care, will conduct a thorough evaluation of your vocal abilities to develop a personalized voice therapy plan. If you've been struggling with a hoarse voice for more than 2-3 weeks, consulting a voice therapist is highly recommended.

Voice Evaluation and Performance Assessment

Our skilled therapists at Merfish will assess your vocal techniques, quality, pitch, loudness, breath support, and other crucial voice characteristics. To gain a deeper understanding of your vocal health, we may employ advanced techniques such as:

• Endoscopy: A minimally invasive procedure to visualize your vocal cords and larynx.
• Videostroboscopy: A high-speed imaging technique to observe the real-time movement of your vocal cords.

Voice Recording and Analysis
