A Laryngologist is a subspecialist within Otolaryngology (ENT) who focuses specifically on the larynx (voice box), throat, and related structures.

They are experts in voice, airway, and swallowing disorders.

Conditions a Laryngologist treats:

• Voice disorders: Hoarseness, vocal cord nodules, polyps, paralysis, muscle tension dysphonia.
• Airway problems: Narrowing of the airway (laryngeal stenosis), vocal cord dysfunction, breathing difficulties related to the larynx.
• Swallowing disorders (Dysphagia): Difficulty swallowing due to nerve or structural issues.
• Throat cancers: Diagnosis and surgical treatment of laryngeal and pharyngeal cancers.
• Reflux-related throat problems: Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) affecting voice and throat.
• Professional voice care: Singers, actors, teachers, and public speakers often see laryngologists for voice preservation and treatment.
