While elderly patients may develop voice disorders from those etiological factors that affect all age groups, such as upper respiratory tract infections, they are also susceptible to changes that are related to getting or being old. Certain voice changes are a normal part of the aging process and should not be considered disordered, but it is important for the otolaryngologist and speech pathologist to recognize and understand these, in order to be in a position to help out when problems develop. |
