When is hoarseness a concern?

Temporary hoarseness is common and usually harmless, such as from a cold or vocal fatigue after intense activity. But if hoarseness persists for more than two weeks, it may indicate underlying problems such as voice overload, improper voice use or irritation of the vocal cords.

What can a speech therapist do for hoarseness?

A speech therapist can help identify the cause of hoarseness and offers guidance for voice problems. This may include voice therapy, which teaches techniques to use the voice in a healthy way, or exercises to reduce tension in the vocal cords.

Why swift action is important

Persistent hoarseness can worsen without treatment and possibly lead to permanent voice problems. It is therefore wise to seek early speech therapy help to prevent further damage and improve your voice.
