Hey Connie.... Ken is ALMOST right (and with him, that's good enuf!) <grinning, running, & ducking>, in that the vocal cords DO change.. But they become more lax, rather then "shrinking," as Ken stated (close, but no ceeegar, Ken!) <smile>. Connie, I'll be happy to fill ya in about the collagen injections (which have given me back my normal voice!) if ya'd be interested. Please feel free to drop me an email at [log in to unmask] if you'd like some info about this procedure.

There are many electronic devices available, to amplify the voice, and devices with keyboards and screens, in the event you have no voice at all. If you mention more details, i am sure you'll be flooded with details of which method will help you the best.
