Vocal Damage - Vocal Rehab: Calling All Vocally Injured Speakers and Singers…
Over the
years I have dealt with many vocal disorders and injuries, be it possessed by ordinary
people with speech problems or by amateur or professional singers. Almost all
have had one thing in common, the absolute lack of patience with respect to
their voice restoration and vocal recovery. The minute
they felt better about their voice and in general, they were ready “to run marathons”,
so to speak.
Those with the speaking voice, who have not heard their normal voice for some time, could literally not stop speaking (fast and loud) the minute they regained their voice. No matter how much and how long I have been persuading them not to start speaking too soon, too much, and too loud at all, none of them had listened.
The minute
they came back home, they called all their friends and relatives and some of
them even created coming home parties; and once again, some returned to yelling
and screaming at their children and their spouses, which in the first place, by
doing so is what brought them to the voice strain and voice loss.
Go figure!
Now about
singers:
Needless to
say, that some singers, even during the voice restoration process, also were experiencing
frustration from time to time, as right after the voice repair was complete,
they still were not exactly “jumping the triple axles” right away. It is
boggling my mind, as those otherwise sensible adults do not appreciate the process which requires some time to gradually go back to the same and definitely
much higher grounds!
Now, my
point of view:
I personally
like to watch television shows concerning hospitals and medical care. One of the
episodes from the TV show “Saving Hope” I just watched, where the car racer was
admitted in the emergency room, with very brutal injuries. His feet
were, literally, separated from his legs, his arms were broken, and in general, he was in very bad shape.
The minute
he regained consciousness, after at least a twelve-hour surgery, where the
doctors were literally putting him back together, the very first thing he asked
when he opened his eyes was, “Doctor, when will I be able to race again?”
It’s
understandable, but how realistic is this?
The doctors
suggested that it would be at least a couple of years of recovery…
The other
case from the same show profiled a woman in her mid-thirties, who was a
racehorse jockey. She had a
very bad leg injury which also required at least six months of healing and
rehab, thereafter. She was
begging the orthopedic doctor to do some kind of surgery that will speed up
her recovery and put her right back on a horse. The doctor
explained to her that there was one experimental option that would put her
back on her feet much faster, but if unsuccessful, it may leave her paralyzed
from the waist down.
What do you think she had chosen?
Take a wild guess – the experimental surgery, nonetheless.

Unfortunately,
the outcome was very tragic, and she, indeed, was left paralyzed.
The question
is, is it worth it to go to extreme measures in hopes of a fast recovery or,
maybe, just maybe, the person should have the understanding that, whichever
injury took place is neither a joke nor is it a quick fix. But rather, on the
contrary, it requires absolute patience, understanding, willingness and
lovingness to go through the process to completely fix whatever had been broken,
and needless to say, the injured person should approach the rehabilitation with absolute caution and
safety, in mind.
I’d like to
note that the voice/vocal injuries are not any different, and in fact, maybe
even more difficult to attend to, as the voice is a deeply hidden “internal
instrument…” if you will.
So treat your "precious instrument" with care and caution and try not to damage it again right after it got fixed.
At that time, it has to become apparent that the "player" (you) should know how to extract the maximum capacity of your, given to you by God, instrument, but with no pain or strain on your very, indeed, fragile vocal anatomy... in this case!
