Vocal Cord Paralysis - What Could Be The Causes & How To Deal With Them?




Vocal cord paralysis, also known as the vocal cord paresis, is the inability of one or both vocal cords to move. It can greatly impact the daily life of the sufferer, including, job, social interactions and leisure time activities.

The condition is caused by damage to nerves going to the vocal cords-the nerve impulses in the larynx are interrupted, resulting in the paralysis of the vocal cord muscles.

Patients with vocal paralysis typically experience hoarseness, vocal fatigue, mild to a severe reduction in speech volume, a pain in the throat when speaking, and swallowing things down the wrong way and choking.

Signs and symptoms of vocal cord paralysis include:

• Changes to the voice
• Hoarseness
• Noisy Breathing
• Changes to vocal pitch
• Coughs that do not clear the throat properly
• Voice volume may be affected

Treatment for vocal cord paralysis

The treatment for vocal cord paralysis depends on several factors, including what caused it, how severe the symptoms are, and how long they have been present.

Voice therapy: Equivalent to physical therapy for large muscle paralysis, can be beneficial for sufferers of this condition. There is an alternative form of voice therapy which incorporates some specific exercises and some other activities that will strengthen the vocal cords. You might also learn how to use your voice in a different way. And as a result, the voice disorder sufferer will know how to effectively utilize the maximum potential of their voice; while, at the same time, minimizing the chance of the voice disorder reappearing in the future.

Surgery & Alternatives: As a last resort, if the patient does not recover totally with the voice therapy, the doctor may recommend a vocal cord surgery. But, as indicated in the above paragraph, there is an alternative method of voice recovery/rehabilitation that will ‘get the job done’ without the need for surgery. This is known as non-surgical voice repair.

Case Study of our recent International Client, (a Businessman from Paris, France) with the Diagnosis of Sulcus Vocalis and Who Undergone 40 Hours of His Successful Voice Course and Natural Herbal Treatment

Image
Our recent international client Cedric H. (from Paris, France), 38 years old, had suffered from Sulcus Vocalis for 3 years, as nobody was able to rectify it.  That definitely affected his business, as he lost confidence in presentations and never knew when his voice was going to cease.  Here is his testimonial after he had undergone a 40-hour course and natural herbal treatment (conducted by Widely-Renowned Master Voice/Vocal Coach and Non-Surgical Voice Repair Specialist Ms. Diana Yampolsky), which had been delivered to him over 10 consecutive days: “My name is Cedric and I come from France.   I was diagnosed with Sulcus Vocalis about 3 years ago.   Slowly but surely, my voice started to fade off and I called Diana in September because my voice went totally off.  She found space in her busy schedule and I made my way to Canada.  Due to Diana's instruction and treatment, I went from pretty much 20% of a voice to around 90% of a voice, which makes...

The Inspirational Journey of Aubrie Morris (Up-and-Coming Singer/Songwriter of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania)

  Hi Everyone,  Some of you are already familiar with the name of Aubrie Morris of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, USA who originally came to us in November 2019.  She came to us with the diagnosis of Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD).  Please read the beginning of Aubrie’s story by clicking the link below: https://www.vocalscience.com/aubrie-m-muscle-tension-dysphonia-survivor   Her voice repair course and natural herbal treatment was supposed to be administered for 6 consecutive days in order for Aubrie to receive 30 hours of our revolutionary voice/vocal instruction by advocating by us our very own Vocal Science™ method.  Unfortunately, we were unable to finish that course as Aubrie caught a cold and thus we were forced to cut our course short (24/26 hours). However, with the above said, her Muscle Tension Dysphonia disorder was almost gone by the time she left Canada. But, due to the pandemic, she was not able to see me until just recently. Due to that fact, wait...

“Just landed… I had a wonderful, encouraging time! I can not wait to come back. I will definitely be in contact soon!” - Aubrie M ___________________ For the first time, Aubrie arrived to us on Friday, November 1st, 2019 from the USA. Prior to her arrival, we have been in communication with her for a few months, as she had to pay off her 30-hour course and treatment in increments. We had already been very impressed with Aubrie throughout the process, as she told us that she was working (simultaneously) two jobs - totalling over 70 hours a week. That was her only way of being able to come to us to conquer her muscle tension dysphonia disorder Up until Aubrie had arrived to us, we had no idea that she was actually a young single mom with a young son on her hands. For the last three years, her dreams of becoming a professional singer had been, unfortunately, completely shattered. Apparently, nobody in her native city, (Pittsburgh) could help Aubrie to rectify her serious voice p...
