Voice Problems/Hoarseness

Voice problem care at Peak ENT

Your voice is how you communicate, connect, and express yourself. When it becomes hoarse, strained, or unreliable, it can affect your work, your confidence, and your daily life. At Peak ENT, we specialize in diagnosing and treating voice disorders with expert care and personalized solutions, so you can speak, sing, and live without limitations.

Whether you’re a teacher, singer, public speaker, or someone who just wants their normal voice back, we’re here to help you feel heard.

When to see a voice specialist

A hoarse voice now and then is common. But persistent voice changes may signal an underlying problem with your vocal cords, larynx, or overall throat health.

You should schedule an evaluation if you notice:

Hoarseness lasting longer than 2–3 weeks
Chronic throat clearing or coughing
Vocal fatigue or loss of vocal range
A weak, breathy, or strained voice
A lump-in-throat sensation when speaking
Difficulty projecting your voice
Pain or discomfort when talking or singing
Sudden voice loss or changes without explanation

Common voice conditions we treat

Voice problems can stem from a variety of causes, including overuse, infection, acid reflux, nerve injury, or even growths on the vocal cords. At Peak ENT, our laryngology team is trained to identify and treat a full spectrum of voice disorders.

Conditions we treat include:

Laryngitis (acute and chronic)
Vocal cord nodules, polyps, and cysts
Muscle tension dysphonia
Vocal cord paralysis or paresis
Spasmodic dysphonia
Reflux-related voice changes (LPR)
Benign and malignant laryngeal tumors
Aging voice (presbyphonia)

Advanced voice diagnostics

Accurate diagnosis is the first step to effective treatment. We use cutting-edge diagnostic tools to assess vocal cord movement, tissue health, and sound production.

Our diagnostic services include:

Videostroboscopy – Slow-motion imaging of vocal cord vibration
Laryngeal endoscopy – Real-time evaluation of the throat and larynx
Acoustic and aerodynamic voice analysis – To assess voice quality and function
Voice recording and monitoring – To track progress and outcomes

Personalized treatment plans

No two voices—or voice issues—are the same. That’s why we create custom care plans based on your lifestyle, vocal demands, and specific condition.

Treatment options may include:

Voice therapy with a speech-language pathologist
Medical management for infections, inflammation, or reflux
Vocal rest and behavioral coaching for overuse
Botox injections for spasmodic dysphonia or tremor
Microlaryngeal surgery for nodules, polyps, or growths
Nerve repair or vocal cord medialization for paralysis or weakness

We also offer ongoing care for performers, public speakers, and others who rely heavily on their voices.
