The evolution of voice health encompasses physiological, psychological, and environmental factors essential for optimal vocal function. Historically, voice care lacked formal education, relying on anecdotal and superstitious beliefs. However, with advancements in multidisciplinary research, led by figures like Paul Moore and Chevalier Jackson, the field transitioned towards evidence-based practice. Technological innovations, including the laryngoscope, revolutionized diagnosis and treatment. Events like the 1957 International Voice Conference catalyzed collaboration, leading to institutions like the Gould Foundation for voice research. This evolution signifies a shift towards comprehensive, scientifically informed approaches in voice health.
