| ==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]]
