What are Voice Disorders?
- People develop voice problems for a number of
reasons. Doctors who specialize in ear, nose, and
throat (ENT) disorders and speech pathology
specialists are involved in diagnosing and
treating voice disorders. - Treatment depends on what is causing your voice
disorder but might include voice therapy,
medication, injections, or surgery.

Causes of Voice Disorder
- Your voice box (larynx) is made up of cartilage,
muscle, and mucous membranes situated at the top
of your windpipe (trachea) and the bottom of your
tongue. Your vocal cords are two flexible bands
of muscle tissue that lie at the entrance of the
windpipe. Sound is generated when your vocal
cords vibrate. - This vibration comes from the air moving through
the larynx, bringing your vocal cords closer to
each other. Your vocal cords also help close your
voice box when you swallow, stoping you from
inhaling food or fluid. - If your vocal cords become swollen, develop
growths, or become paralyzed, they cannot work
properly, and you might develop a voice disorder.
