i've lost my voice for over a month & i was just wondering how this happens?

Question

I've been loosing my voice for the past year for months at a time. What is the cause of that?

Answer 1

Many reasons: There are many reasons you can become hoarse. Usually this means that something is irritating your vocal cords. This can be caused by reflux or post nasal drip. Viruses can also cause hoarseness. However not knowing your history you should be looked at by a physician. An ENT can use a scope to look at your vocal cords and tell you what the problem may be.

Answer 2

Voice lessons!: Voice lessons can help you control the quality of your voice. Many actors, like Tony Curtis, for example, (who had a Brooklyn accent) took and still take them to make their voice as beautiful/pleasant as possible. Accents, and timbre (tone) can all be helped with voice lessons.

Answer 3

Aphonia: Greetings. Recurring episodes of complete loss of voice should be evaluated by your ENT physician. Viral laryngitis is a common cause. A vocal cord nodule, polyp or lesion could also be causing the problem. A video stroboscopic evaluation may be recommended. Good Luck.

Answer 4

Not Possible?: I don't think your goal is possible. However, seek consultation with a PhD speech therapist, and an ENT voice specialist for best advice.

Answer 5

Well done: Congratulations on quitting smoking. You've made the best decision you can make to ensure good health in the future. It is not unusual to have some symptoms like this after you quit, but these could also be symptoms of a viral or bacterial infection on your throat. If symptoms don't get better in the a few days, see your Dr.

Answer 6

No: Sensory receptors are awakening, and secretions caused by the irritants are flowing better. Things will return to normal soon. Congratulations for quitting - it's the best thing you can do for your future health.

Answer 7

Hasn't happened yet: "How do" means it hasn't happened yet. "How did" means it's already happened. One can go to a football game and yell, scream, and cheer on every play. By the end of the game, her voice will be hoarse and raspy... what we call "lost her voice". People without neighbors can watch games on TV and yell just as loud. If there's no game today, well, that's when imagination and creativity come into play.
