What tests will be done to diagnose aphonia?

Healthcare providers may want to examine your larynx. Here are examples of tests they may perform:

• Rigid laryngoscopy. Your provider will slide a rigid tube or endoscopy into your mouth and then hold your tongue still so they can view your larynx.
• Flexible laryngoscopy. This test is done with a flexible tube that your provider passes through your nose to the back of your throat. You may be asked to talk, sing or cough so your provider can view your larynx in action.
