A voice disorder may present as a total loss of voice (aphonia) or change to the voice (dysphonia) in terms of quality, pitch, resonance and volume. This can range from mild to severe and can be consistent or inconsistent. The cause of a voice disorder can be due to accidents, neurological or systemic conditions, surgical procedures, viral infections, cancer, vocal abuse and misuse, emotional stress, trauma and illness.
