The evaluation of dysphonia typically involves a thorough medical history and physical examination. Additional diagnostic methods include:
Laryngoscopy: A procedure that uses a scope to visualize the vocal cords and larynx. Voice assessment: Conducted by a speech-language pathologist to evaluate voice quality, pitch, and volume. Acoustic analysis: A computerized method to assess voice parameters. Imaging studies: Such as MRI or CT scans, may be used if structural abnormalities are suspected.
