About Our Voice & Airway Clinic
Our Voice & Airway Clinic at THANC Hospital in Kilpauk, Chennai specializes in the evaluation and management of disorders affecting the voice box, vocal cords, trachea, and upper airway. Supported by advanced stroboscopy, laryngoscopy, and endoscopic imaging, we treat both common and complex voice and airway conditions. From hoarseness and vocal cord nodules to tracheal stenosis and post-intubation airway narrowing, our clinic follows evidence-based protocols led by experienced laryngologists and speech language pathologists to ensure accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and long-term vocal and respiratory recovery.
When to Consult Our Voice & Airway Clinic Team
Early evaluation leads to better outcomes. Speak to our team if you notice any of these:
Persistent hoarseness or voice fatigue
Any voice change lasting more than 3 weeks — especially in voice professionals — deserves scope examination.
Loss of voice volume or pitch control
Reduced voice projection affects teaching, singing, and speaking careers and often has a treatable cause.
Noisy breathing or stridor
Noisy breathing in adults or children can signal airway narrowing and needs prompt endoscopic evaluation.
Chronic cough without a clear cause
Unexplained cough can have laryngeal, reflux, or airway triggers — structured evaluation finds the cause.
Difficulty breathing after intubation or tracheostomy
Post-intubation airway narrowing needs specialist assessment and structured airway restoration.
Vocal cord paralysis after neck or chest surgery
Vocal cord paralysis can be improved with voice restoration procedures and therapy.
