• Aphonia - inability to speak.
• Dysphonia - voice loss, hoarseness.
• Odynophonia - pain and soreness in the throat with prolonged vocal use.
• Hyperaemia of the free edges of the vocal chords - common in singers and speakers and could become chronic.
• Vasomotor chorditis - chronic congestion, usually limited to one vocal chord. Aggravated by vocal effort. Partly reversible.
• Nodules and polyps of the vocal cords.
• Laryngeal contact ulcers.
• Hyperplasia of the vestibular folds.
