Many individuals will seek out someone who can help them with nasality speech therapy because they speak in a high-pitched or whining manner and do not understand how to fix this problem. Depending on the reason for the nasal speech, a speech therapist might be able to help the individual. If the problem is a physical one, surgery or some other method might be called for. A nasality speech therapist can perform some simple voice tests to determine if the problem you are having is physical or if it is something picked up by habit. For those whose voice has recently changed, there is probably a medical reason for it. If you have had a cold or a serious case of the flu in the last few weeks, your lungs may still have some congestion and it is keeping you from sounding as you used to. If the situation does not change soon, you should consider seeking professional medical advice to ensure something else has not happened to you. If you have been in a recent accident, involving trauma to your head, you should definitely seek out medical assistance, as this could be a warning sign of some other larger problem. If your problem is a nasal related one, you should explore the many different ways that nasality speech therapy can help you. One of the things the therapist will have you do is hum the letter m. While you are humming, he or she will ask you to pinch your nose. When you do, the humming should stop immediately. Another test will involve saying the following phrase while holding your nose pinched. 'The civics class agreed that illegal deeds were outrageous.' When you say that phrase, see if you feel any tension or pressure. If you do not, this is a good sign. If you did, it is okay. This just means that you have tendencies to nasality issues. If you feel a strong pressure or tension, you will definitely need nasality speech therapy lessons. One of the main exercises is to learn to say things without lifting your tongue. By practicing to say certain sounds and keeping your tongue relaxed on the floor of your mouth, you will learn to do so at other times when your voice has a tendency to sound nasal. These exercises are very simple and many others are available from a good nasality speech therapist. Check out the individual you plan to use and see what some of his or her former students have to say about him or her. Better yet, just listen to some of his former students talking on the phone and you should get all the information you might need to work past the problems. Nasality speech therapy is a safe way to address many nasal speech or voice issues. |
