voice examinations

A voice examination is a specialized assessment performed by an ear, nose, and throat doctor (ENT) or a speech-language pathologist to evaluate the health and function of your vocal cords and voice production. The doctor may examine your throat with a mirror or camera, listen to your voice, and sometimes have you speak or sing while specialized tools record voice quality, pitch, volume, and clarity. This helps identify issues like nodules, polyps, paralysis, or other abnormalities affecting your voice, guiding appropriate treatment or therapy to improve or restore normal voice function.
