Abstract

This article provides a concise review of contemporary options for evaluating voice disorders. Focus is given to patient history and patient-derived voice handicap and quality of life assessments, clinician-derived perceptual analysis of voice, and finally flexible and rigid, high-definition laryngoscopy with videostroboscopy to fully evaluate laryngeal function and biomechanics.

Keywords: CAPE-V; GRBAS; Laryngoscopy; Stroboscopy; VHI; Voice; Voice evaluation.
