Phoniatrics

Phoniatrics studies the voice, which is the main instrument of speech and communication. The larynx, respiratory organs and paranasal sinuses that form it act as resonators. Diseases that affect the tone of the larynx muscles lead to its change (dysphonia). A qualified specialist - a phoniatrist - can help in this case.

What is phoniatrics?

Phoniatrics is a specialized area in otolaryngology. This section of medicine deals with the study, detection and treatment of voice and speech disorders.

In particular, phoniatrists work with:

  • Loss of voice due to overstrain of the ligaments
  • Paralysis of the vocal cords
  • Benign tumors

The main goal of treatment is to restore the voice and improve the quality of life. To do this, the phoniatrist prescribes special exercises. In severe cases, he refers the patient for surgery.

As part of prevention, phoniatrists teach patients how to use their voice correctly. This is especially important for people whose profession is associated with constant strain on the ligaments, for example, singers, teachers and actors.

Показания для обращения к фониатру

You should contact a phoniatrist if you have problems with your voice (speech) that interfere with communication and cause discomfort. The following signs should make you wary:

  • Constant hoarseness
  • Changes in the voice (for example, hoarseness) that do not go away for a long time
  • Pain or discomfort in the throat that occurs when speaking
  • Breathing problems during conversation

These signs usually indicate that the vocal apparatus is overloaded or damaged. However, these symptoms often signal the presence of central organic disorders.

General information about the procedure

How does the consultation proceed?

The consultation begins with a survey, during which the phoniatrist clarifies the complaints. In the process, the phoniatric specialist asks the following questions:

  • How long ago did the voice problems begin?
  • Have there been any throat injuries or surgeries?
  • Are there any chronic diseases?
  • What are the patient's working conditions and lifestyle?

Then the phoniatrist examines the throat and ligaments using a laryngoscope. This allows the doctor to detect possible pathologies.

Diagnostics

Depending on the situation, the phoniatrist prescribes additional examinations: audiometry (hearing test), acoustic voice analysis and electroglottography (study of the function of the ligaments).

For a more detailed analysis, the following methods are used:

  • Stroboscopy. The process uses a special light that flashes in unison with the vibration of the ligaments. This allows the doctor to see how they move during speaking
  • Videokymography. Recording the movement of the ligaments in dynamics helps to see any irregularities in their work
  • Computer analysis. Analyzes the sound characteristics of the patient's voice and helps to identify deviations from the norm

After collecting the data, the doctor analyzes the results and discusses them with the patient. The specialist then prescribes treatment.

Treatment methods in phoniatrics

One of the important treatment methods is voice therapy. It is a set of exercises and techniques aimed at improving the functioning of the ligaments and the entire apparatus. In the process, the phoniatrist holds sessions in which the patient learns:

  • Correctly use the vocal cords
  • Avoid overstraining the voice
  • Improve breathing techniques

Additionally, drug therapy is prescribed. The patient is prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers (if necessary) and (in case of a bacterial infection) antibiotics. In order to remove neoplasms and correct anatomical defects, surgery is performed.

About doctor:

Osipova Irina Andreevna

I had a planned tonsillectomy with E.V. Chekaldina. She's truly a God, not a doctor. As a patient with high anxiety, I received answers to all my questions. She also provided moral and psychological support before and after the procedure. The surgery itself was excellent, with a quick recovery. Visiting Elena Vladimirovna was like visiting a special someone.
