Conditions we treat

Voice Disorders

Restoring a healthy voice after hoarseness, strain or vocal nodules.

Understanding Voice Disorders

Hoarseness lasting more than two weeks in a child should always be examined by an ENT specialist. Vocal nodules caused by chronic shouting are the most common finding, and behavioural voice therapy is the first-line treatment.

Therapy changes how the voice is produced and used, allowing tissue to heal and preventing recurrence.

Signs to look for

  • Persistent hoarse or breathy voice
  • Voice worsens through the day
  • Frequent throat clearing or throat pain
  • Voice breaks or loss of voice after play
  • Habitual shouting
  • Reduced loudness or pitch range
