Voice Screenings

The Milton J. Dance Voice Treatment Center at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center would like to announce our voice screening program!  The Speech-Language Pathology team provides assessments to anyone experiencing vocal difficulties.  This program may also be beneficial for healthy voice users as a tool to establish baseline vocal performance, which may be a source of comparison if one encounters problems in the future.  Voice screenings are offered on the last Thursday of every month from 3:00 - 6:00 pm.  There is a $15 charge that will be collected prior to the voice screening.  View Our Brochure.

Your voice screening will include:

  • A review of your voice history to identify any potential problems.
  • Acoustic analysis of the quality of your voice using state-of-the-art equipment to determine if there is any indication of potential vocal cord pathologies.
  • Visualization of the larynx with a small endoscope (camera) that is passed (painlessly) through the nose. This is optional, but the most objective way to look at the vocal cords.

A printout of your vocal quality parameters as well as a photo of your larynx is available by request.

Speech-language pathologists cannot provide a formal diagnosis but can isolate the need for further evaluation with a physician.  If there is any indication of a voice disorder, you will be referred for a full voice evaluation under the supervision of both a physician and speech-language pathologist to make a formal diagnosis.

Participants may register by calling 443-849-2087. 
E-mail requests will be confirmed with a reply.
To register online go to the Calendar of Events: Voice Screening.

Looking forward to sharing this great opportunity with you!
