I checked and all I can find (top searches in or around my area) are speech therapists that primarily focus on neurodivergent kids, none that meet the google definition of a speech language pathologist as opposed to speech therapist. Was this a 'wording as intended' situation?

Went to my doctor today. BP came in high, doctor sent me for more tests. Will know more tomorrow.

Not sure if this is the kind of pro you were recommending or a voice coach. Also curious as to what you would call overdoing, if you don't mind. (I'm, or rather I was doing three sets of three rounds of pitch sirens about 5 seconds each every 4-5 hrs. Kinda put that off now and just quietly panicking.)

Hi all! I recently started voice training, mostly just doing voice exercises to get my unused voice to cooperate a little. But I've run into a problem. I use two SOVTEs interchangeably - lip trills and singing through a straw. Every time I do either there's a constant buzz in my ears and I get headaches after. Is this common? Any advice?
