May is Better Hearing and Speech Month. Taking care of your vocal folds is important. Here are some tips for vocal hygiene from the Speaking of Speech website:
1. Drink water to keep your vocal folds hydrated.
2. Try to decrease throat clearing. Use a sniff/swallow instead.
3. Limit nonessential talking.
4. Reduce talking or singing in loud background noise.
5. Try to limit medications that dry out your mouth.
