Assessment & Services Offered

We offer complete diagnostic evaluation and targeted treatment for all voice-related conditions:

• Detailed Voice & Throat History: Assessment of symptoms, duration, voice use patterns and associated medical factors.

• Videolaryngoscopy: High-definition endoscopic examination of the larynx to visualise the vocal cords and detect swelling, nodules, cysts or paralysis.

• Stroboscopy (when indicated): Advanced evaluation of vocal cord vibration for subtle voice disorders.

• Medical Management: Treatment for infection, inflammation, acid reflux, allergies or hormonal factors affecting the voice.

• Voice Therapy Referral: Collaboration with speech-language pathologists for rehabilitation in cases of vocal misuse, nodules or paralysis.

• Microlaryngeal Surgery (when needed): Minimally invasive surgery to remove lesions like nodules, cysts or polyps.

When to Seek Evaluation

You should consult an ENT specialist if you experience:

• Hoarseness lasting more than 3 weeks

• Frequent voice breaks, tired voice or reduced vocal endurance

• Pain or discomfort while speaking or singing

• Breathiness or weak voice suggesting vocal cord paralysis

Common causes include laryngitis, vocal strain, acid reflux (LPR), vocal nodules or cysts, allergies, smoking, neurological conditions and age-related changes in the vocal cords.

Management & Long-term Care

Treatment and rehabilitation may include:

• Voice rest and hydration to reduce strain and promote healing

• Speech/voice therapy to correct improper voice use patterns

• Treatment for acid reflux, allergies or infections contributing to hoarseness

• Microlaryngeal surgery for structural lesions or persistent voice issues

• Lifestyle changes such as avoiding smoking, proper vocal hygiene and hydration
