  18. Professional, good natured, efficient, thoughtful - what more could I ask for?

  19. Listened to my speech, voice effort, my history of laryngitis several times, my singing history, and demands of my job to speak long hours 4-5 days a week. The use of the nasal probe camera to look at my vocal cords was effortless and skillfully done. I was able to see the video and watch my vocal cords move as I spoke. I could understand the fatigue happening due to my accessory muscles overuse and saw the thickness on on side of my vocal cord. This greatly helped me understand why speech therapy was indicated to retrain my voice effort and muscles which has created fatigue, hoarseness, and neck discomfort over the past 18 months. I was relieved to know I did not have any mass on my vocal cords.
