Voice Clinic

Comprehensive Care for Voice and Laryngeal Disorders

Our voice is an essential part of our identity and daily communication. When voice function is impaired, it can significantly affect one’s quality of life – personally and professionally. Voice disorders may impact pitch, tone, volume, or clarity, often making it difficult to speak or be understood. These issues commonly arise from problems in the vocal folds or related structures involved in voice production.

The Voice Clinic at Nightingale Hospital offers advanced evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment for a wide range of voice-related conditions, including:

  • Hoarseness or loss of voice
  • Breathy, cracked, or strained voice
  • Pitch instability or sudden pitch breaks
  • Vocal tremors or shaky voice
  • Stammering and stuttering
  • Chronic cough due to laryngeal causes

Our highly skilled team is equipped to manage complex voice disorders such as:

  • Vocal fold nodules, polyps, and cysts
  • Spasmodic dysphonia (involuntary spasms during speech)
  • Muscle tension dysphonia (improper voice muscle usage)
  • Vocal fold paralysis
  • Laryngeal cancer and pre-cancerous lesions
  • Airway obstruction or breathing difficulties linked to vocal cord issues

We also support professional voice users – such as singers, teachers, actors, lawyers, and public speakers – who seek voice enhancement or rehabilitation to maintain peak vocal performance.
