Message From Director

Welcome to the VOICEntre

Voice disorders are common and occur in about 6% of the general population. Voice problems can lead to significant impacts on the quality of life in individuals with voice problems. The HKU Clinical Voice Centre (VOICEntre) was first established in 1997 with the aim to provide state-of-the-art voice care and management for individuals either with voice problems or who want to enhance their voice use. Our clinical service includes voice assessment and treatment, and training workshops. It is committed to becoming a centre of excellence in clinical care, research and education of voice science and disorders.

We strongly believe that effective clinical practice and service delivery should be informed by research evidence. The VOICEntre is affiliated with Voice Research Laboratory, a key research laboratory of its kind in the Asia Pacific region which is dedicated to basic science and clinical multi-disciplinary research related to voice science and disorders. Together, the VOICEntre and Voice Research Laboratory provide an excellent platform for bridging research and clinical practice, translating research knowledge to innovative and evidence-based approaches for prevention, assessment and treatment of voice disorders.

We invite you to learn more about the clinical service and research activities offered by the VOICEntre through this website.
