The article deals with optimization of treatment policy for singers with chronic catarrhal laryngitis. The survey sample is 51 singers with chronic catarrhal laryngitis of the age from 29 to 54 and the length of time worked from 8 to 22 years. The following methods are used: anamnesis, microbiological investigation, voice evaluation according to Visual Analog Scale (VAS), microlaryngoscopy, videolaryngostroboscopy, voice acoustic analysis (MDVP Kay Pentax system), statistical processing of results. It is shown that the cause of chronic catarrhal laryngitis in professional singers is non-bacterial irritants that provoke the appearance of an inflammatory process in the larynx, as well as uncontrolled use of drugs that irritate and dry out the mucous membrane and imperfect vocal technique. Pathogenic flora as an etiologic factor in the occurrence of laryngitis does not play an important role. A comprehensive treatment scheme for chronic catarrhal laryngitis using inhalation therapy and drugs that improve trophic processes in the laryngeal mucosa, which allows to increase the effectiveness of treatment and achieve stable remission of the disease, is suggested.
