Dysphonia

Dysphonia is a condition that causes changes in the voice, making it sound different from normal. It can result in a voice that is hoarse, raspy, weak, or strained. This occurs when the muscles, nerves, or tissues involved in voice production are affected by injury, illness, or overuse. Dysphonia can be temporary or long-lasting and may impact communication and quality of life. It often requires evaluation by a healthcare professional to identify the underlying cause and determine appropriate treatment or voice therapy.
