Voice & Speech Therapy in Chennai
A voice that won't come back to normal after a cold, persistent hoarseness, or difficulty swallowing are more common than people realise — and more treatable than most assume. Our voice and speech therapy service starts with a proper ENT examination of the vocal cords and throat, not just symptom management, so the underlying cause is identified before therapy begins.
This is particularly relevant for teachers, singers, call-centre staff and anyone whose voice is central to their work, as well as patients recovering from throat surgery or managing swallowing difficulties.
Conditions We Treat
- Chronic hoarseness or voice fatigue
- Vocal cord nodules, polyps or cysts
- Vocal cord paralysis
- Swallowing difficulty (dysphagia)
- Professional voice strain (teachers, singers, call-centre staff)
- Post-surgical voice and swallow rehabilitation
Our Approach
How We Diagnose & Treat It
Endoscopic voice assessment
Direct visualisation of the vocal cords to identify the exact cause of voice change.
Personalised therapy plan
Structured voice exercises targeted to the specific diagnosis, not a generic programme.
Swallow evaluation where relevant
Assessment of swallowing safety and technique for patients with dysphagia.
Progress review
Follow-up assessment to track improvement and adjust therapy as needed.
Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does hoarseness need to last before I should see a specialist?
Hoarseness lasting more than two to three weeks, especially without an obvious cause like a cold, is worth having examined by an ENT specialist rather than waiting it out.
Is voice therapy only for singers and public speakers?
No. While professional voice users benefit greatly, voice therapy also helps anyone recovering from throat surgery, vocal cord conditions, or vocal strain from everyday work or illness.
Do you treat swallowing difficulties too?
Yes, swallowing (dysphagia) assessment and rehabilitation is part of our voice and speech therapy service, particularly for patients recovering from throat-related surgery or illness.
How many voice therapy sessions will I need?
This depends on the underlying cause and severity — some patients improve within a handful of sessions, others need a longer structured programme. Your therapist will outline an estimated plan after the initial assessment.
Can vocal cord nodules go away without surgery?
Many vocal cord nodules improve with voice therapy alone, especially when caught early. Surgery is generally considered only when therapy doesn't resolve them or the nodules are significantly affecting the voice.
