Laryngoscopy & Voice Clinic

Laryngoscopy & Voice Clinic: Specialized Care for Voice and Throat Health

Laryngoscopy is a specialized diagnostic procedure used to examine the voice box (larynx), vocal cords, and surrounding throat structures. It plays a crucial role in identifying the causes of voice changes, throat discomfort, persistent hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or unexplained coughing. In this procedure, a rigid or flexible endoscope, often equipped with a camera, is gently inserted through the mouth or nose to provide a clear, magnified view of the larynx and vocal cords. This helps in accurately diagnosing conditions such as vocal nodules, polyps, laryngitis, vocal cord paralysis, and even early signs of cancer.

The Voice Clinic is a dedicated service within ENT care focused on evaluating and treating voice disorders in patients of all ages, including singers, teachers, speakers, and others who rely heavily on their voice. After a detailed history and voice assessment, laryngoscopy is often performed to visualize the structure and function of the vocal cords. Based on the diagnosis, a personalized treatment plan is developed, which may include medication, voice therapy, or surgical interventions when necessary.

In addition to diagnosis and medical treatment, the clinic provides speech, voice, and swallowing therapy to help patients regain optimal vocal function. This is especially important for those recovering from vocal strain, surgery, or neurological conditions affecting speech. With expert guidance and targeted rehabilitation, patients can restore vocal strength, clarity, and confidence. The laryngoscopy and voice clinic together offer a holistic approach to voice and throat health—combining advanced diagnostics with therapeutic care for long-lasting results.
