Common Voice Problems

Voice Therapy – who benefits?

Common voice problems are characterized by a combination of difficulties that are reflected by a braid range of diagnoses. But for the benefit of sharing a simplified understanding the basic characteristics of voice issues, we rely on 3 categories, that are not mutually exclusive.

The types of voice problems that benefit from specialized voice therapy include:

01. Organic

Voice difficulties related to organic lesions of the vocal folds or the periphery. Voice therapy targets the symptoms associated with the lesions, including hoarseness and vocal strain. Voice therapy is about training the voice user to modify the way he uses the vocal mechanism, so that the voice can return to safety and efficiency, irrespective of the organic condition of the vocal folds.

Common organic conditions that benefit from voice therapy intervention are:

  • Vocal nodules
  • Vocal Fold Paralysis
  • Polyps (pre and post operational)
  • Vocal fold scarring
  • Vocal fold cysts (post-operational)
  • Layngeal papillomatosis (HPV)
  • Chronic laryngitis
  • Neurological conditions affecting the voice/swallowing mechanism (eg. Parkinson’s disease, myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis)
  • Chordectomy

Functional voice difficulties are related to the way the voice is used and managed. These difficulties are successfully managed with specialized voice therapy which targets mindful awareness of voice use while also developing skills for efficient and comfortable voicing. The symptoms commonly related with functional voice difficulties include:

  • Voice fatigue and discomfort
  • Hoarse, strained, harsh, gravely voice
  • Breathy, weak, asthenic voice
  • Vocal instability – tremulous voice
  • Loss of tonal range or a specific part of the tonal range
  • Loss of ability to produce or maintain vocal intensity
  • Breath – Voice coordination
  • Localized pain in jaw or neck area (may require additional intervention from a specialist physiotherapist or manual therapist).

These functional difficulties may appear with or without associated organic pathology of the larynx, in individuals who have excessive vocal demands and are in need of specialized vocal technique, for efficient voice use. In certain cases, these same functional symptoms appear in in the absence of increased vocal load and may be related to behavioral, physical or emotional factors.

Psychological voice disorders develop in relation either to intense emotional situations or difficulty with expressing powerful emotions of anger, fear, sorrow, stress and anxiety, such that the person is overwhelmed by these emotions.

As the significant third of the triadic synergy of Mind-Body-Emotion, emotional balance is critically related to healthy vocal expression and is frequently aetiologically related to the development of voice problems. Voice therapy targets guiding the voice user to acknowledge the relevance of emotions to healthy voicing while also integrating vocal techniques to overcome the functional imbalance of the vocal mechanism that these emotions had created.
