Need it checked: It may not reverse if it's already been a year. Anytime you have a voice change that lasts longer than 3 weeks, it is usually something abnormal. You need to have a doctor (ENT) take a look at your voice box.

Voice changes: The hgh may or may not have anything to do with your voice and swallowing issues. If you have been off the hgh for over a year-its is unlikely unless it was tainted with something. There are other causes for your issues, such as reflux/heartburn, vocal abuse or a growth in your neck/vocal cords. I would recommend that you have an ent, like myself, look at your vocal cords.

Yes, but need exam: Hgh affects muscle mass and growth, and can cause hoarseness related to metabolism of hormones with resultant deepening of the voice. Sometimes the body compensates but developing tension in the vocal folds, hence the hoarseness. Other trauma can occur on the vocal folds as well. If your hoarseness is over 1 year, you need to see an ENT for an exam of your voicebox.
