Common Questions and Answers about Speech problems nasal
speech
t seem to me that my voice is nasal, even when I fully pinch my nose shut. However, I have been told by friends (and heard, myself, through recordings) that this is not the case. I did some reading through Google and saw that this may be some sort of ENT disorder, but have also been told that I may just need to see a speech therapist to learn how to speak right. It doesn't seem to me that any air passes through my nose at all when speaking.
hi,my 2 and a half year old is currently awaiting an appointment with an ENT Specialist 9ear,nose and throat) as altho he can speak and understands everything his speech hisnt clear,and very nasal and i can only describe trhis as sounding deaf when he speaks.hes had an ear test which was clear a year ago.along with this he has extreme tantrums which last for 15-20 mins.i know this is to be expected at his age but the tantrum itself is very scary and his eyes are not focussed,he spits bubbles.
Thanks for input. Went to see a speech therapist the other day and confirmed that she is having difficulty swallowing. Learned some new techniques to help with this, but she will certainly need therapy.
I went to the doctor the other day because of post-nasal drip (followed by cold and sore throat on multiple ocassions), and she diagnosed me with sinus infection and put me on amoxicillin with clavulanic acid (875+125 dosage). However when the time came for me to take my pill, I realized I was unable to swallow it, even if I break it in half.
he diagnosed as type 2 diabetic and also has sinus problems. He began to get slurred speech a few months ago. the slurring doesnt occur all of the time but is very noticeable at times. The doctor felt this was due to his sinus infection and gave him a nasal wash. since then the problem did improve slightly but not enough and so he is on an antibiotic for sinuses now. He is also on a blood pressure tablet and perhaps this is the cause? it does sound more like the diabetes.
For last 6 months or so (that is about 18 months after the exposure), I am experiencing some nasal discomfort which is seriously leading to problems in speech. I am planning to go to an ENT specialist also but would like to know if this also can be caused by any STD? Basically, I am having a lot of mucus in the nose and I get the feeling that my nose is stuffed (not in the way it happens during cold). So, many times, when I am trying to say the word N, I speak L and vice versa.
I have been digonised by nasal endoscopy that there is a small mass or nodule on my left vocal cord and also there must be a gapping between the vocal cords as per my speech therapyist. I have been going for speech therapy for the last 20 days and seem to have improved quit well. How ever my voice is still hoars.
My TSH levels are up and I am experiancing clogged ear with what ENT says swollen turbinates. She put me on a nasal spray and it hasn't helped. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
Anyone else have sinus problems? It's almost like I have a cold but I don't. It's been going on since around week 15, now I'm 18 weeks.lots of post nasal drip and painful / dry sinuses at times. I know it's from hormones but not much seems to help.
Then there is the mechanical part of communicating our language and that is speech. Problems with speech can include just trying to get the words out, pronouncing the words, the tonal quality of our speech, using emphasis and inflection. Problems with speech can be from weakness or spasticity of the muscles of our mouths, throats and vocal cords. Or it can be with the way our brain tries to direct the speech.
other symptoms are muscle fasciculation, cramping, stiffness of affected muscles, muscle weakness affecting an arm or a leg and slurred and nasal speech. Usually limb onset, symptoms in the arms, or legs , leg symptoms may experience awkwardness when walking or running or trip. Arm onset may experience difficulty with tasks requiring manual dexterity such as buttoning a shirt etc. in bulbar onset cases first noticed difficulty speaking clearly or swallowing.
Other symptoms are muscle fasciculation, cramping or stiffness of affected muscles, muscle weakness affecting an arm or a leg, and/ or slurred and nasal speech. The parts to be affected first depend on which motor neurons are damaged first. Most of the affected get limb symptoms first. Do you have difficulty with tasks requiring manual coordination like shirt buttoning, writing etc. since symptoms appeared in the upper limb first for you?
Even though he followed the instructions from his doctor, after the tube was placed he suddenly started slurring his speech and becoming unresponsive, he couldn’t move ,’couldn’t control his limbs and lost control of his bowels and was about to faint. When the tube was removed he started slowly becoming normal again. What would cause this kind of reaction ?
t going down as easily as it used to, I had attributed it to post-nasal drip since I had been getting over a cold. But the post-nasal drip persisted, and then I read that post-nasal drip can be caused *by* a swallowing problem, rather than the other way around. I am beginning to feel like all sorts of random oddities I've had over the years may be MS-related.

But once i tried to work as the phone operator, the deaf nasal voice when I heard was awful. It of cause made a big problems in communication. Especially during talking over phone, in particular seeking the job. If i have about 25 years is it possible to correct by operative intrusion, trainings or by other means for example by drugs.
