Clear communication is key in today's world and we all know that first impressions matter. From the clarity of a phone greeting to the confidence conveyed through the message. Our voices also change as we age and when people around us have more difficulty communicating with us, it can become frustrating and fatiguing.
ENT & Allergy Associates provides targeted training for voice issues for teens and older by our specially-trained Speech-Language Pathologists. They are also trained in methods to help reduce chronic cough and other upper airway issues.
Those working in certain high-volume speaking professions are especially prone to voice issues:
- Customer service representatives
- Lawyers
- Actors
- Coaches
- Teachers
- Religious leaders
Ready to get started? At ENT & Allergy Associates, a thorough evaluation of the larynx or “voice box” will be done during the first visit with your ENT. The ENT may then refer you to one of our specialized Speech Pathologists (Queens, Long Island, and Mount Laurel, NJ locations are currently available). A full voice evaluation will then be done, followed by weekly therapy sessions, tailored to your needs.
Contact your local ENT for an initial evaluation and to see if you are a candidate for voice therapy.
What Skills Are Addressed in This Program?
The time it takes to see results will vary depending on what is being addressed. For chronic cough and breathing retraining, some people notice changes after only 1-2 sessions. With voice therapy, it may take 8-10 sessions. Regular home practice along with regular attendance to sessions is imperative to making changes.
