Voice
is essential to
most of us in our personal and professional lives. Yet, it can
be very difficult to obtain good information regarding voice
disorders. Often, hoarseness
or other voice problems are simply overlooked, or perhaps dismissed
as ‘laryngitis’, even if they have gone on for weeks
or months. Anyone with a voice problem knows how limiting it can
be, however. Sometimes, it is no exaggeration to call it disabling.
Voice
Medicine is
intended to offer the visitor reliable and current medical
information about disorders that affect the voice. This
information represents a combination of scientific evidence
and consensus among experts,
for voice medicine (laryngology) is a rapidly evolving
field, and much investigative work
remains to be done.
Voice
Medicine is
designed to complement rather than replace consultation
with a qualified professional. Since voice is principally
a quality-of-life issue, and many aspects of the voice
are subjective, a well-informed patient is the most important
element in accurate evaluation and effective treatment.
Voice
Medicine is
created by Lucian
Sulica, MD, and reflects
his interest and expertise in voice disorders. Dr. Sulica
practices in New York City, and is the author of multiple
publications in the field. |
