Laryngology is a branch of medicine that deals with illnesses and injuries of the larynx, often called the voice box. Laryngology also deals with voice disorders and treatments. The larynx sits in the neck and houses the vocal cords. The larynx is vital in the body’s production of sound – speech, language and cognitive disorders.

Several disorders of the larynx can be caused by strain or injury to the vocal cords through excessive talking, throat clearing, coughing, smoking, screaming, singing, or speaking too loudly or too low. Eventually, frequent vocal abuse and misuse can cause permanent changes in vocal function and possibly the loss of voice.
