Synonyms and keywords: hoarseness
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.
Classificaiton of Dysphonia
Based Upon Chronicity
- Acute hoarseness has a sudden onset and lasts fewer than 2 weeks
- Chronic hoarseness lasts longer than 2 weeks
Based Upon Pathophysiology
- 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
Other Diagnostic Studies
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
Surgery and Device Based Therapy
- Surgical intervention for abscesses, masses
- Cricothyrotomy or tracheostomy (to establish airway)
