Not all voice problems are caused by disease or structural damage. Some result from functional voice disorders, where the muscles and coordination of the voice do not work properly — even though the vocal folds themselves are healthy. These conditions can significantly affect communication, confidence, and quality of life, especially for teachers, singers, and professionals who rely on their voice every day.
At Yoskarn Clinic in Bangkok, Dr. Somyot Kunjak and his expert team — with over 40 years of experience in ENT and voice surgery — specialize in diagnosing and treating all forms of functional voice disorders through advanced analysis and personalized therapy.
Functional voice disorders occur when there is an imbalance in how the voice is produced, often caused by excessive tension, incorrect technique, or emotional stress. The most common conditions include:
A condition where the muscles around the larynx become overly tight, leading to strain, hoarseness, and fatigue. It often occurs after illness, overuse, or psychological stress.
Emotional trauma or stress can cause a sudden loss or alteration of voice despite normal anatomy. Patients may experience whispering or complete voice loss without pain.
Overuse (hyperfunctional) or underuse (hypofunctional) of the vocal mechanism can lead to inefficient vibration, causing weak, breathy, or strained voice quality.
At Yoskarn Clinic, diagnosis begins with a comprehensive voice evaluation, combining medical and acoustic techniques:
Videostroboscopy to examine vocal fold movement and closure patterns
Acoustic and aerodynamic analysis to measure vocal efficiency
Muscle tension assessment around the larynx and neck
Psychological and behavioral screening, when appropriate
This multidisciplinary approach ensures that both the physical and emotional factors affecting the voice are properly addressed.
Voice Therapy
Our certified speech and voice therapists teach relaxation, breathing, and resonance techniques to restore natural vocal function and reduce tension.
Behavioral and Psychological Support
For psychogenic or stress-related disorders, counseling is integrated into treatment to help patients regain vocal confidence and control.
Medical or Surgical Intervention (if necessary)
In rare cases where muscle imbalance persists, Dr. Somyot Kunjak may use targeted interventions to normalize vocal fold behavior while preserving natural tone.
Voice Hygiene Education
Patients are guided on hydration, posture, and vocal care practices to prevent recurrence.
