A member asked:

Paralized left vocal cord from a fall did not injure neck or throat been 7 months with whisper of a voice. whats the chance of it returning on it' own?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: However, there are surgical procedures that can improve your voice. There are many ENT doctors who are trained to operate on the larynx. Laryngoscopy is necessary to determine what kind of paralysis is present. The ENT doctor can then make a decision how to proceed.
