Hypophonia

Last updated • a couple of secsFrom Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Hypophonia is soft speech, especially resulting from a lack of coordination in the vocal musculature. [1] This condition is a common presentation in Parkinson's disease. [2] This condition is generally treated with voice training programs, use of shorter sentences, breathing exercises, and muscle training exercises for vocal cords. [3] [4]
