it is an abnormal change in the voice, characterized by a difficulty in making clear vocal sounds. This alteration - which can occur with various levels of severity, up to the complete loss of the voice (aphonia) - is symptomatic of a pathological process, which develops in the larynx.
Hoarseness is generally considered a benign disorder, typically associated with cough, fever and breathing difficulties. An inflammatory component of the respiratory tract is often connected to the characteristic, progressive or sudden lowering of the voice: colds, laryngitis, pharyngitis or tracheitis. More rarely, the disorder is a signal for more serious diseases, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma or even neoplastic lesions (nodules, polyps, cancer).
