A member asked:

Can i get a voice amplifier to improve my dad diminished lung capacity ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not sure?: Not sure what that is. One can not generally improve 'lung capacity' . So if one has decreased lung fuction from a certain disease or condition then generally will not return. Depends also on severity of capacity. Need to know the undelying condition. Please clarify.
