Voice Therapy at University Hospitals Helps to Increase Vocal Quality

Speech-language pathologists at University Hospitals play a key role in assisting patients suffering from vocal disorders such as:

• Dysphonia
• Hoarseness
• Resonance disorders
• Vocal fold nodules

Working collaboratively with the referring physician and the physical medicine physician, our highly trained speech-language pathologists are a vital component of the successful Voice & Swallowing Center at University Hospitals Ear, Nose & Throat Institute. Within this specialty center, our speech-language pathologists work alongside a variety of specialists such as otolaryngologists (ENT physicians) for improved outcomes.

• Increased diaphragmatic breathing
• Relaxation therapies
