A member asked:
My vocal range has diminished 3 years post intubation. is there anything i can do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an ENT doctor: It is possible that as a result of being intubated, your vocal cords may have been affected even though it is a rare complication. The surgery you underwent could also affect the nerves innervating your vocal cords. See an Ear Nose and Throat doctor and be evaluated.
