Clients suffering from decreased vocal quality, pitch, loudness, resonance, or stamina, may want to have their voices evaluated to assess and prevent lasting damage.
Negative changes in vocal production (dysphonia) can be caused by lesions on the vocal folds, such as nodules or polyps. Functional problems related to excessive strain in the throat and neck may also cause dysphonia. Other impairments include paralysis of one or both vocal folds, abnormal opening of the vocal cords upon inhalation (paradoxical vocal fold movement), and vocal fold spasms (spasmodic dysphonia). Factors related to neurological (e.g., Parkinson’s Disease), physiological (e.g., acid reflux), and psychological diagnoses may affect voicing as well.
