In the past decade the number of voice laboratories has increased dramatically. Their primary mission is to enhance patient care by the application of knowledge gained from basic research. They also are dedicated to further improvement of diagnostic and therapeutic resources. The strength of the voice laboratory lies in collaboration between the clinician and the scientist.
