Dr. Franklyn Gergits answered

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

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.
