Medical Conditions - Nasal Speech

Nasal speech or nasal voice mainly occurs due to a clogged-up or runny nose. Nasal speech can be of two types: hyponasal and hypernasal. Common causes of nasal speech include cold, sinus infection, or allergies. In addition, some people can have this condition from birth due to structural anomalies such as a deviated nasal septum or large tonsils. Speech therapy can help improve the tone of speech in people with this condition.
