*Also known as voice hoarseness, is any problem related to speaking or phonation
*Hoarseness or other abnormality of phonation
*Can be caused by myriad of disease processes affecting air stream into the larynx, or vocal cord vibrations
*Can indicate potential airway compromise
*Can resent as a variety of complaints, including shortness of breath, vocal tremor, altered pitch, or complete loss of voice
