Re: [Harp-L] Voice problem

[fjm <bad_hat@xxxxxxxx>]

Did the ENT use a stroboscope on the vocal chord?  I have a damaged 
vocal chord, the damage wasn't visible until they took a digital picture 
of the chord in action.  In my case I became somewhat hoarse and had 
difficulty speaking.  Playing harmonica definitely exacerbates the 
problem.  I've lived with my problem for a number of years.  I have 
learned how to speak almost normally now but when I'm tired it's 
trouble.  It's fixable I just haven't had a moment in which I could 
afford to not use my voice for the interval that is required after the 
surgery.  fjm
