Voice Therapy outcomes in Type-I Sulcus Vocalis: Case Studies
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical & Experimental Otolaryngology (IJCEO) - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
In Sulcus vocalis, a groove on the medial surface of the free edge of varying etiologies in which the mucosal waves are diminished or absent during phonation affects the vocal efficiency. Two cases of physiological based etiology of type-I sulcus vocalis (according to Ford’s classification) taken in consideration for voice therapy using vocal hygiene, vocal function exercises and resonant voice therapy. Both cases showed improvement on overall techniques used to improve the vocal efficiency and the timbre of the voice. So, before going for surgical management the type of sulcus vocalis differentiation and the safe and adjuvant voice therapy should be recommended
