Advanced Technology
Symptoms of a voice problem like hoarseness, whispering, vocal tiredness, pain, roughness and discomfort while talking or singing, loss of singing control and effort/strain are a cause of concern. As these problems are potentially serious and their causes cannot be determined simply by the way they sound, a comprehensive laryngoscopic examination with scientific acoustical analysis is performed. These disorders could be something relatively mundane or could be as serious as laryngeal
cancer. Prompt attention is offered to the person experiencing difficulty by voice disorder specialists.
Diagnosis is made by examination and special endoscopic techniques like videostroboscopy and voice analysis software. They are useful, later in the course of treatment, to monitor the progress of the therapy
Management
Most voice problems are managed successfully without surgery, through behavioural change and medical care. Specialised techniques that reduce tissue harm and promote faster healing are offered by our trained surgeons for the surgical cases. Habitual voice abuse is managed by conservative means, anti-reflux measures, vocal hygiene and voice therapy. Pathological conditions like cysts, nodules, polyps, tumours, neoplasms, etc., require surgical intervention by microlarygoscopic technique. Apart from injection techniques, other methods like Laser assisted procedures, and rarely, open surgical procedures like thyroplasty/arytenoid adduction are also performed
Specialist Involved
ENT specialists, speech pathologists and a voice coach provide primary services, in conjunction with several other medical disciplines to treat voice disorders. Experts from neurology, gastroenterology, oncology, plastic surgery, dentistry, endocrinology, allergology, pulmonary medicine and clinical psychology or psychiatry also form an integral part of the team. The Voice Clinic specialists perform a physical exam and specialised tests to determine the nature and extent of the problem with documentation and feedback of the recording that provides an explanation of the problem.
