Speech and voice rehabilitation

Speech and voice rehabilitation focuses on restoring communication, vocal quality and functional voice use following illness, surgery, injury or chronic voice disorders. Through a combination of expert assessment, evidence-based therapy and multidisciplinary care, we help patients recover confidence, clarity and endurance in speaking and singing.

Treatments Offered

Our rehabilitation services are personalised and goal-oriented, including:

  • Comprehensive Voice Assessment: Acoustic analysis, perceptual evaluation and endoscopic examination to identify underlying issues and baseline function.

  • Individualised Voice Therapy: Structured programs delivered by speech-language pathologists to improve breath support, pitch control, resonance and vocal endurance.

  • Swallow & Speech Coordination: Integrative therapy for patients with concurrent swallowing or articulation issues following neurological events or surgery.

  • Postoperative Rehabilitation: Targeted recovery plans after microlaryngeal surgery, vocal cord injection or other laryngeal procedures.

  • Voice Conservation & Prevention: Education on vocal hygiene, pacing, hydration and workplace strategies for professional voice users.

  • Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC): Assessment and provision of communication aids when verbal speech is limited or absent.

When to Seek Rehabilitation

Consider speech and voice rehabilitation if you experience:

  • Persistent hoarseness, vocal fatigue or reduced vocal endurance

  • Changes in speech clarity after stroke, head injury or surgery

  • Difficulty projecting voice at work or performing vocally

  • Swallowing-related voice changes or aspiration symptoms

Causes may include vocal misuse, neurological conditions, postoperative changes, chronic laryngeal inflammation, and age-related decline. Early therapy improves outcomes and prevents chronic voice problems.

Therapy Process & Long-term Care

Successful rehabilitation typically involves:

  • Regular sessions with a speech-language pathologist tailored to individual goals

  • Home practice exercises, vocal warm-ups and pacing techniques to reinforce progress

  • Collaboration between ENT, audiology, physiotherapy and nutrition teams when needed

  • Monitoring and reassessment with objective measures to track improvement

  • Long-term vocal health education for sustained benefits and prevention of recurrence
