Voice Disorders

Speech therapy can address a wide variety of voice disorders, including:

  • Chronic hoarseness

  • Muscle Tension Dysphonia

  • Vocal cord paralysis

  • Vocal cord dysfunction (VCD), or Inducible Laryngeal Obstruction (ILO)

  • Spasmodic Dysphonia

  • Presbyphonia, or age-related voice changes

  • Decreased volume due to Parkinson's Disease

  • Chronic or excessive coughing

Voice disorders typically require an evaluation by an otolaryngologist, also known as an ear, nose, and throat doctor (ENT) prior to initiating speech therapy treatment. If your ENT has recommended speech therapy, then online speech therapy may be able to help.
