A member asked:

Can an infant be born with aphonia? what might the causes of this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

NMS: I thought I would make some suggestions since your question has not been answered by anyone else. This is not my specialty but I can think of congenital abnormality of the vocal cord or brain damage during delivery as potential causes- fortunately rarely.. What did your doctor tell you?
