Common Voice Symptoms

Common voice symptoms we treat at the DVCC:

  • Hoarseness
  • Raspy voice quality
  • Loss of volume or projection of voice
  • Loss of vocal range
  • Lack of clarity in upper notes
  • Pitch changes
  • Increased effort with speaking or singing
  • Voice strain
  • Pain in the throat or neck, pain with speaking

These are just some of the voice changes people report. You may have other voice difficulties and we are here to address your unique voice needs.

Although many people report similar voice symptoms, the causes and treatment may vary tremendously from person to person. An appropriate medical and vocal function team evaluation is necessary to get effective treatment and resolution of your voice problems.
