Speech Impairment Correction. Prices, Reviews, Ratings
General information
The main causes of deviations in vocal cord vibrations include:
- paresis of the lingual muscles, soft palate, lips, folds, larynx and their injuries;
- muscle tone defects;
- weak mobility of ligaments.
Deviations manifest themselves in the form of a weak and quiet sound, hoarseness, unmodulated timbre, monotony of tempo and speed of speech. Also, defects can occur due to hearing loss, various diseases and inflammations of internal organs, undeveloped vocal structure, dysfunction of the nervous system.
In medicine, the following types of deviations are distinguished:
- dysphonia - partial voice defects;
- aphonia - complete lack of voice;
- alalia - damage to the cerebral cortex;
- stuttering - involuntary stops or repetitions;
- dysarthria - dysfunction of muscle innervation.
With the help of speech disorder correction, the respiratory organs, larynx, as well as the oral and nasal cavities will function normally. This will relieve the voice disorder and return it to the desired timbre, strength and pitch.

- for imitation of animals, birds, transport using examples;
- for modulation breakdown (for example, from lowering to higher and vice versa).
