Although diagnosis includes a physical examination of the head and neck, as well as perceptual voice measures, imagining of the vocal nodules via laryngeal endoscopy remnants the primary diagnostic method. Vocal fold nodules inhibit with the vibratory characteristics of the vocal folds by growing the mass of the vocal folds and varying the configuration of the vocal fold closure pattern. Due to these changes, the quality of the voice may be pretentious. As such, the major perceptual symbols of vocal fold nodules include vocal hoarseness and breathiness. Other common symptoms include vocal fatigue, soreness or pain lateral to the larynx, and reduced frequency and intensity range. Airflow levels during speech may also be enlarged.
