Hoarseness can be caused by a number of conditions. The most common cause of hoarseness is acute laryngitis (inflammation of the vocal cords) caused most often by an upper respiratory tract infection (usually viral), and less commonly from overuse or misuse of the voice (such as from yelling or singing).
Some less common causes of hoarseness include: polyps (abnormal growths) on the vocal cords; throat, thyroid, or lung cancer; damage to the throat, such as from the insertion of a tube; male adolescence (when the voice deepens) poorly functioning thyroid gland; aortic aneurysms (swelling of a portion of the aorta, the largest artery of the heart)
