Muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) occurs when the muscles around the voice box are constricted during speech production. A person may work very hard to get the voice out or use too much “muscle tension,” sometimes without even noticing it.
MTD is a voice disorder related to how the voice is used. It does not occur when someone strains the voice one time. It is usually a problem occurring from a habit of straining to talk, resulting in a raspy voice or, in a worst-case scenario, a lost voice.
Your voice may sound raspy or tight. Talking may make you feel tired, or you may even feel a muscle ache in the neck due to MTD.
Primary MTD: The muscles in your neck are tensed when you use your voice, but there is no abnormality in the larynx.
Secondary MTD: In this type of MTD, there is an abnormality in the voice box that impels patients to overuse other muscles for the voice production.
No one fully understands what causes MTD. It usually begins without warning or explanation. It may be caused by irritants in the upper respiratory function such as smoking, acid reflux or excessive demands placed on your voice. Sometimes, more than one of these factors are present when it comes to MTD.
Muscle tension dysphonia has several signs and symptoms, including:
Diagnosis –
The condition is difficult to diagnose; and sometimes it is even misdiagnosed, as there is no specific test(s) for this condition. A complete suitable diagnosis requires a thorough examination by an experienced team of voice specialists. For a complete diagnosis, the vocal specialists generally take an entire history of one’s voice problem(s) as well as one’s speaking pattern (speaking voice application).
The Royans Institute for Non-Surgical Voice Repair offers an alternative form of voice/speech therapy and is known for the great success in non-surgical treatments of MTD, Spasmodic Dysphonia, Vocal Cord Paralysis, Acid Reflux and many other common and uncommon voice disorders.
The above actions will naturally amplify the human voice, allowing the true voice to be heard without compromise. It will also minimize the use of the sufferer’s throat, larynx and vocal cords – therefore it will definitely eliminate the harmful use (pain and strain) of the vocal anatomy altogether.
Aubrie Morris – Muscle Tension Dysphonia Survivor– Voice Repair Client/Up and Coming Singer/Songwriter:
“Diana,
I know I get carried away most times, but I feel like carried away isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I get carried away with the vision, I get carried away with the dream you told me to keep, I get carried away with details, and I get carried away with devotion.
I’m so lucky to have you as a friend! But I Am Truly blessed to have you as coach and mentor.
Someone so positive, that makes things happen. Your positivity has rubbed off on me for a Lifetime, which is just one of the best things you could have given me! A positive attitude is the difference between a happy life and a bad one. The difference between making a dream come True, or letting one die.
It’s my own personal belief the happiest pictures in our heads aren’t just daydreams, they are visions of what can be… If you try your hardest, and keep a positive outlook on life. I dare say, it’s like I needed my vocal issues to find you… to learn patience, appreciation, self-control, and discipline.
I cannot thank you enough for your encouragement, guidance, and healing mentally and physically you’ve already given me! There is no price you can put on that!
I Thank God for showing me favor through you! I thank and appreciate you Tremendously for accepting the task of making my dreams come true!
Thank you for the effort you’ve shown, and the effort you’re going to show to put me comfortably on stage as one of the best Vocal Science has to offer!
From the bottom of my heart, it truly is my dream! I am prepared and really hope it comforts you to know I will completely be giving my absolute BEST efforts and commitment to your direction. I will always take your point of views, and opinions to heart! I will always pray that I can look to you for advice on every level. Pandemic aside, if those borders open up, there will be nothing anyone but God can do to stop us! It’s Done!
No matter what level we are on, I will always promote Vocal Science! You will always have me on your side. Loyalty means a lot of things to different people. To me, loyalty makes you family not blood. My trust is in you, the quality of knowing that calms my whole heart, it stops negative thoughts dead in their tracks!
I pray you know that you too have the same trust in me. I know you have reasons to doubt because of the past. But I am not a fool. Vocal Science is too big for some to imagine, and grasp the potential it has to illuminate one’s future; honor and success it would have on one’s image to just have their name next to it! But I see.
The talent and music can make you successful, the personality you put in music makes you different, but if done right with class and a laid out plan, Vocal Science has the ability to make you LEGENDARY!
To display it would be a guaranteed success of one’s form, but to bring it to light, to be the first one is something else entirely! XOXO.
Your friend,
your student,
your product
