Voice modulations without student's complaints (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

infections

'complaints' is the definition.
(medical complaints)

'voice modulations without student's' is the wordplay.
'voice modulations' becomes 'inflections' (inflection can mean a change of intonation).
'without' suggests deleting specific letters.
'student' becomes 'l' (as in L-plates for learner drivers).
'inflections' with 'l' taken away is 'INFECTIONS'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
