Ep.87 How to Manage Allergies and Upper Respiratory Infections with Laryngologist Declan Costello
Today we talk to laryngologist Declan Costello who, during the Covid-19 pandemic, helped coordinate research on the perceived dangers of aerosols and singing. A singer himself, Mr Costello is stationed at Wexham Park Hospital in Berkshire as a consultant ear, nose and throat surgeon specialising in voice disorders.
KEY MOMENTS
‘General hay fever and stuffiness wouldn't necessarily mean I would suggest stopping singing’
‘Colds are viral. They will do what they're gonna do’
‘We didn't go into it in order to open up singing again. We had to go into it completely dispassionately and saying, we don't know what the dangers are’

ABOUT THE GUEST
Declan Costello is a consultant ear, nose and throat surgeon specialising in voice disorders (a laryngologist). He studied music at St John's College,Cambridge, where he was a choral scholar, and went on to study medicine at Imperial College. As a singer himself, he has a particular interest in treating voice disorders in performers. Having worked for ten years in Birmingham as a consultant, he moved to Wexham Park Hospital in Berkshire in 2018. He has published a number of books and has written many chapters, including the chapter on "Larynx" for the 42nd edition of "Gray's Anatomy”.
