Parkinson's Disease

Do people ask you to repeat yourself?

Does your family say you speak too softly?

Have you noticed your voice sounds hoarse, scratchy, or breathy?

A common symptom of Parkinson’s is difficulty producing a voice that is strong and clear. If you are experiencing these symptoms, an evaluation can determine if therapy is right for you.
