A member asked:

I have bronchitis obliternas and am due for a lung transplant soon. do you guys think my voice won't change because of my illness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Do you mean bronchiolitis obliterans? This is destruction of the bronchioles, which are very small airway channels within the lungs. No, your voice would not change since the voice box isn't transplanted.
