Sneha Davis, a 42-year-old elementary school...
Sneha Davis, a 42-year-old elementary school teacher, had always relied on her voice to connect with her students. Over the past six months, she noticed her voice becoming increasingly hoarse and fatigued, often cracking by mid-afternoon. As a singer in her church choir, this was especially distressing. Her primary care doctor referred her to an ENT specialist, Dr. Lee, who, after a basic exam, recommended a stroboscopy to visualize the vibration of her vocal cords in detail. Sneha was nervous but hopeful. During the procedure, a thin, flexible scope was gently passed through her nose after numbing spray. She had to phonate various sounds while a strobe light illuminated her cords on a monitor. It was uncomfortable but not painful. The stroboscopy revealed a small, benign vocal cord nodule from overuse. The outcome was a clear diagnosis and a tailored plan of voice therapy. Emotionally, Sneha moved from fear and frustration about losing her instrument to immense relief. Knowing the cause was treatable without surgery gave her hope and motivation to commit fully to her therapy.
