A member asked:

I have trouble speaking at a normal volume, my voice is always too quiet?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Quiet voice: You might have weakness of vocal folds. This is seen in older patients. You may weak lungs therefore lack of air powering your voice. You could have a polyp or other lesion interfering with function. Finally, you may just be made this way. You need to be checked by ENT to examine vocal folds.
