Voice Disorder in Dubai
Voice disorder in Dubai is a growing concern among individuals experiencing changes in voice quality, pitch, or control. A voice disorder is any condition that impairs the sound of the voice and can affect communication effectiveness. These issues may present as hoarseness, vocal fatigue, reduced loudness, or breathy or strained voice.
Types of Voice Disorder in Dubai
Dysphonia
This umbrella term refers to abnormalities in vocal quality, such as hoarseness, breathiness, or tension. Causes include vocal misuse, nodules, polyps, or muscle tension dysphonia.
Vocal Nodules and Polyps
Benign lesions often caused by vocal strain. They may result in persistent hoarseness, breaks in the voice, and increased effort when speaking.
Spasmodic Dysphonia
A neurological disorder characterized by involuntary spasms in the vocal cords. It causes a strangled, choppy, or interrupted speech pattern.
Vocal Cord Paralysis or Paresis
Involves partial or complete immobility of one or both vocal cords due to nerve damage. Symptoms may include breathy voice, aspiration, or voice loss.
Laryngitis
Acute or chronic inflammation of the vocal folds, commonly due to infections, overuse, or irritants like smoke. This condition can lead to temporary voice loss or altered voice quality.
