At Performance Voice Solutions, we offer the following services: Our voice evaluation includes a comprehensive case history review, objective voice measures and a perceptual assessment of vocal techniques and patterns the patient uses for speech and/or singing. This includes indexes such as the Voice Handicap Index and the Reflux Symptom Index. The clinician also uses the Reflux Finding Score to screen for LPR. Vocal recording and analysis includes quantification of the voice signal with respect to pitch, loudness, quality and variability as well as measurement of acoustic parameters Voice Therapy is the process of rehabilitating (or “habilitating”) the vocal folds by teaching the brain how “to do voice” differently. It is a key tool in the treatment of voice disorders, administered by a trained speech-language pathologist who has experience as a voice therapist. Voice therapy goals are individually created by the voice therapist for each individual patient, in order to meet their specific needs. It may be all that is needed to correct a voice problem, or it may be recommended in conjunction with surgery and/or medication. It includes education, mastery of techniques and exercises that begin with easy sounds and move into conversational speech and, for singers, into singing. It frequently includes breathing techniques as well. Emergency Care . Performance Voice Solutions offers same-day emergency attention to our elite singers and performers during weekdays. On weekends, individuals may contact the Northside ENT physician on call by dialing 317. 844.5656. Should the emergency benefit from the voice specialists at Performance Voice Solutions, the physician will contact the specialist on call as well.
