==Overview==
'''Dysphonia''' is the medical term for hoarseness or other [[phonation]] disorders. It is considered much less severe than [[aphonia]]. Hoarseness can be a change in pitch, a rough sound of the voice, or an increased effort in speaking.
* '''Acute''' hoarseness has a sudden onset and lasts fewer than 2 weeks
* '''Chronic''' hoarseness lasts longer than 2 weeks
 
==Classificaiton of Dysphonia==
* Organic dysphonia
* Functional dysphonia
*[[Spasmodic dysphonia]]

== Diagnosis ==
 
== History and Symptoms ==
 
The following should be characterized as part of a full history:
* Onset
* Duration
* Prior history
* Exposure
* Medications
* Voice use
* Associated symptoms
* Medical history
* Surgical history
* Trauma
 
== Physical Examination ==
* Focus on neck, head, lung, thyroid and cardiac exams
* Evaluate voice quality
 
== Laboratory Findings ==
* Thyroid function tests to rule out [[hypothyroidism]]
 
=== X-Ray ===
* [[Chest X-ray]]
* Lateral neck X-ray
 
=== MRI and CT ===
* [[CT scan]] of sinuses
* [[CT scan]] of head and neck
 
=== Other Diagnostic Studies ===
* Upper gastrointestinal (GI) [[endoscopy]]
* Direct or fiber optic nasolaryngoscopy
* [[Biopsy]]
 
== Treatment ==
* '''Airway, breathing''' and '''circulation'''
* Voice rest
* Diet modification ([[GERD]])
* Stop smoking
* Wear protective clothing or masks (if hoarseness is due to exposure)
* Treat underlying etiologies
* Voice therapy
 
== Pharmacotherapy ==
 
=== Acute Pharmacotherapies ===
* [[Antibiotic]]s
* [[Oral steroids]]
* [[H2 blocker]]
* [[Proton pump inhibitors]]
* [[Intranasal steroids]]
* [[Antihistamines]]
 
== Surgery and Device Based Therapy ==
* Surgical intervention for abscesses, masses
* Cricothyrotomy or tracheostomy (to establish airway)
