Voice and resonance disorders are common especially among professional voice users and people who tend to strain their voice such as gym teachers and coaches. Dysfunction of the vocal cords can also occur following neck surgery. Viral infections and trauma to the nerves that innervate the laryngeal muscles can paralysis of one or both vocal cords. Any one of the above causes persistent hoarseness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoarseness that persists for more than two weeks is abnormal and requires an examination of the vocal cords. This evaluation is done using a small endoscope call a laryngoscope. Laryngoscopy is done in the office using topical anesthesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
