Voice Disorders and Chronic Cough
IMPORTANT
Voice disorders is a change in how the voice sounds (pitch, volume, tone, and other voice qualities). Individuals with voice problems are usually referred to a Speech-Language Pathologist by their ENT (Ears, Nose and Throat Specialist). Some common voice disorders include: dysphonia, spasmodic dysphonia, polyps, nodules, vocal cord paralysis or weakness, etc.
Chronic coughing and throat clearing can contribute, exacerbate or perpetuate a voice disorder. A Speech-Language Pathologist can help you implement healthy voice habits to reduce chronic coughing and throat clearing, improving voice quality.
