Voice assessment and therapy for impaired voice production. We help with vocal hygiene, vocal fold approximation, and professional voice training.
Voice of each individual is as unique as their fingerprint. Voice is produced by the vibration of the structure known as vocal folds in the larynx. When someone starts speaking, the air in their lungs moves, causing the vocal folds to move and producing sound.
When the vocal folds fail to vibrate synchronously on initiating voice it results in impaired voice production. The quality of your voice changes according to your age, excessive use of voice, psychological changes, various disease conditions and pathology.
If you face the following issues then you can consult us for an expert opinion on voice assessment and management:
The speech language pathologist at our centre will be able to help you understand the reason for your change in voice through a detailed voice evaluation using subjective and objective voice assessment.

Several issues could cause a problem with voice quality, such as growth on the vocal cords, vocal overuse or misuse, cancer of the larynx, neurological conditions and paralysis of vocal cords, and inflammation caused by gastroesophageal reflux.
Previously, voice therapy was included in Speech Therapy. However, as the field is developing, in recent years Speech Therapists have specifically specialised in Voice Therapy.
Voice Therapy involves identifying factors responsible for faulty voice behaviour and retraining the vocal cords to function optimally.
As our vocal cords are very delicate, there is a high chance of damaging them due to vocal strain. Damage can be prevented when people at risk avoid clearing their throat often, drink adequate water to keep acidity under control, avoid alcohol and coffee, and avoid speaking very loudly and use a microphone to reduce vocal strain.
Puberphonia is a condition where an adult male has a female voice; it’s a rare problem and is not associated with any weakness. Puberphonia is caused due to the malfunctioning of the vocal cords. During puberty, young boys experience a drop in the pitch of their voices. However, this transition may not be smooth for some boys, and the high pitch voice stays or their voice undergoes a lot of pitch breaks. Voice therapy is extremely beneficial in improving vocal patterns. Results can be seen in a very short time.
