Substantial advances in understanding the anatomy and physiology of phonation, and the new technology that has improved voice measurement and voice surgery, have led to marked improvement in the standard-of-care for patients with voice disorders. Expert voice care is essential for all patients, but especially crucial for voice professionals. Professional voice users include not only singers and actors, but also clergy, teachers, receptionists, sales personnel, physicians, and anyone else whose ability to earn a living is impacted negatively by loss of vocal quality and endurance. Physicians should be familiar with the latest concepts in voice diagnosis and treatment, and with the management of common voice disorders.
在发声解剖学和生理学的理解方面取得了重大进展，以及改善嗓音测量和嗓音手术的新技术，已使嗓音障碍患者的护理标准有了显著提高。专业的嗓音护理对所有患者都至关重要，但对嗓音职业者尤为关键。职业嗓音使用者不仅包括歌手和演员，还包括神职人员、教师、接待员、销售人员、医生以及任何因嗓音质量和耐力下降而使其谋生能力受到负面影响的人。医生应该熟悉嗓音诊断和治疗的最新概念，以及常见嗓音障碍的管理方法。
