Voice and Larynx Care

Keeping your voice and throat healthy is our number one priority. Our expert team works together to provide the most advanced voice and larynx care.

Speaking, breathing and swallowing should come naturally. You probably don’t even think about doing them, until suddenly one of these basic functions becomes difficult.

We understand the challenges of dealing with voice, swallowing or breathing problems. The experts at Henry Ford Health have specialized training to help them diagnose and treat all types of voice and larynx disorders.

When should I see a voice and larynx specialist?

Overusing your voice can lead to vocal cord disorders or related conditions. People who use their voice for a living, such as singers or actors, are more prone to voice disorders. Other activities that can damage your voice include yelling, chronic coughing or smoking

You should see a voice and larynx specialist if you experience symptoms lasting longer than two weeks, such as:

• Changes to the sound, volume or quality of your voice
• Hoarseness
• Loss of voice (laryngitis)
• Difficulty swallowing or breathing
• Persistent cough
