Understanding Spasmodic Dysphonia

Spasmodic Dysphonia (SD) is a voice disorder caused by involuntary muscle spasms in the vocal cords, making speech sound strained, choppy, or breathy. There are two main types: adductor SD, which tightens the vocal cords too much, and abductor SD, which causes them to stay open longer than normal.

The condition is linked to nerve signals in the brain that misfire, similar to other movement-related disorders. Diagnosis can take time and usually involves both an ENT specialist and a speech-language pathologist.

Treatment often includes Botox injections, which help relax the vocal muscles and reduce spasms, leading to clearer and more controlled speech. While not a permanent fix, ongoing therapy can greatly improve comfort and confidence in communication.

When Do I Get Checked for Hoarseness (or Cough)

Hoarseness happens when your voice sounds raspy, strained, or weak. It can result from inflammation, voice overuse, acid reflux, smoking, or even nerve and vocal cord issues. While short-term hoarseness is common, persistent voice changes lasting more than three weeks, especially without a cold—shouldn’t be ignored.

It’s important to get checked if you also have throat pain, difficulty swallowing or breathing, a neck lump, or if your voice loss interferes with daily life. Early evaluation helps identify the cause and prevent more serious problems.

Simple habits like staying hydrated, avoiding smoking, and resting your voice can help protect your vocal health.

Salivary Gland Disorders

Your salivary glands play a key role in keeping your mouth and throat lubricated. When they become blocked, inflamed, or develop stones, discomfort and swelling can occur.

Salivary stones form when minerals build up in the ducts of the glands, most often under the jaw or in the cheeks. While small stones may pass naturally, others may require removal through a minimally invasive procedure known as salivary endoscopy.

In some cases, growths or tumors may develop in these glands, and though most are benign, surgical removal is often the best approach. Early diagnosis and treatment help prevent infection and protect healthy gland function.

Untreated Hearing Loss and Risks of Cognitive Decline and Dementia

Hearing loss often develops gradually, making it easy to overlook until real challenges set in. Over time, untreated hearing loss can strain the brain, leading to fatigue, social withdrawal, and even a higher risk of cognitive decline or dementia. When the brain stops receiving regular sound stimulation, the areas responsible for processing speech and sound begin to weaken.

Early diagnosis and proper hearing support can make all the difference, helping to preserve mental sharpness, confidence, and overall quality of life. Don’t ignore the signs, your hearing health is deeply connected to your brain health.

Septal Deviation and Turbinate Hypertrophy

Nasal obstruction is one of the most common reasons people visit an ENT specialist. A deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, or nasal valve collapse can all limit airflow and affect sleep, comfort, and overall breathing quality.

The septum, which divides the nose into two sides, can shift from trauma or natural growth, while turbinates may become inflamed from allergies or infections, further narrowing the nasal passages.

Treatment options range from medication and nasal sprays to procedures like septoplasty or turbinate reduction, both designed to restore proper airflow without altering the external shape of the nose.

In some cases, addressing nasal valve collapse may also be necessary to fully relieve blockage.

Hyperacusis and Her Little Sister Misophonia

For those living with hyperacusis, simple sounds like laughter, dishes clinking, or even riding in the car can be overwhelming or painful.

Misophonia, a related condition, triggers strong emotional responses to specific sounds such as chewing or repetitive tapping. Both can seriously impact comfort, focus, and quality of life.

An evaluation by an ENT and an audiologist is key to identifying potential causes like head injury, TMJ issues, medications, or infections. Once medical causes are ruled out, treatment often involves sound therapy using soft “pink” or “white” noise to help retrain the brain over time.

With patience and consistent care, many people experience major improvements in how they tolerate sound.

Thyroid Nodules & Disorders

The thyroid plays a vital role in regulating the body’s metabolism and energy through the hormones T3 and T4. When issues arise, they can lead to conditions such as thyroid nodules, goiters, cancer, hypothyroidism, or hyperthyroidism.

Thyroid nodules are common and usually benign, though some may require further testing or treatment. Goiters can cause pressure or swallowing issues, while thyroid cancer often has an excellent prognosis with proper care.

Both underactive and overactive thyroids can affect mood, weight, and overall health, but with accurate diagnosis and management, balance can be restored.

All About Ear Infections

Ear infections can affect anyone and often come from different causes. Middle ear infections, known as otitis media, happen when the eustachian tube gets blocked, trapping fluid and creating pressure behind the eardrum. This can cause pain, hearing trouble, and sometimes more serious complications.

Outer ear infections, or otitis externa, usually result from moisture trapped in the ear after swimming or showering. These can lead to itching, swelling, and discomfort but are often easily managed with ear drops and keeping the ears dry.

Some people experience ear pain that isn’t actually from an ear infection. It can come from issues like jaw tension, neck strain, or sinus pressure. A thorough ENT evaluation helps find the real cause and guide proper care.
