Vocal Cord and Voice Examination

The voice is our primary mode of communication, so when issues with the vocal cords arise, it can be disruptive to one’s daily routine and quality of life. Voice problems may arise as the result of polyps, nodules, vocal paralysis, or laryngitis.

At Florida ENT Associates, our team of highly trained, knowledgeable ENT providers will use a specialized instrument called a laryngoscope to detect abnormalities in the vocal cords. Once we have an understanding of your core issues, we can create a personalized treatment plan that helps you regain the use of your voice.

Your Treatment with Florida ENT Associates

As a first step, our team will discuss your symptoms, perform a physical evaluation, and delve into your medical history. We will use a mirror, laryngoscope, or videostrobolaryngoscopy to explore your vocal cords with the utmost precision.

These instruments give the doctors access to images of your internal structures so they can correctly diagnose your concerns.
