About World Voice Day (WVD)
Description
Chronic cough is one of the most common reasons for adults to seek medical attention and affects up to 10% of the general population. Approximately 40% of those with chronic cough report accompanying voice problems. Speech-language pathology students and Dr. Nicole Li-Jessen from the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders will host a 90-minute workshop on voice care and chronic cough.
The following topics will be covered in this workshop:
- how voice is produced,
- how voice may be affected by chronic cough and other behaviours,
- common causes of chronic cough,
- how to protect your voice, and
- some simple voice exercises to alleviate common concerns.
