title: Voice problems in entertainers.
abstract: The medical care of entertainers is an art as well as a science; it demands both clinical experience and empathy-an appreciation of the special problems facing the performer. The expansion of our diagnostic acumen with audiovisual equipment and function studies, the addition of new medications and the development of microsurgery and laser surgery have improved the care of the professional voice user. Preventing voice problems by vocal hygiene remains the principal challenge.
