The voice clinic was basically started for the care of voice professionals like singers, artists, teachers, doctors, lawyers and public servants, using the latest technical advances. This concept of voice clinic has now been extended to all people who have change in voice as their main complaint.
Speech is the articulation of words and voice is the intonation with which we speak these words. Thus this clinic deals with the intonation and not with the articulation.
Our voice clinic also engages itself in the field of vocal hygiene and voice culture for voice professionals.
This is the first time in India that a specialised clinic devoted to voice clinic has been established as voice clinic, having all the necessary diagnostic and treatment facilities under one roof.
