We are super excited ….. It’s H E R E …
Late last year the Australian Dysphonia Network funded a scholarship via the Dr Liang Voice Program to explore aspects of living with chronic dysphonia.
The study is being conducted by an Honours Student @ USyd and while the ADN has funded it, we have not been involved in any way in the design (so it will be exciting for all of us) It is now live.. so it’s time to recruit.
Have your say, and help shape the future of management of chronic voice disorders.

Hi June – nice of you to get in touch. This one is not a ‘trial’ as such, but a study of the impact of dysphonia on everyday life …. and the strategies that people use to cope. It hopes to provide insights to improve the management of those affected.
