Hello Dick,, I have both problems my hearing is better now that I have hearing aids. My voice is unfortunately controlled by Parkinson's and nothing seems to help me there.My voice gets lower and lower and although I have been to a logopaedic treatment course it did not help much. I notice as well when I sometimes take a double dosis of Sinamet cr 250 my voice will go. I sometimes if my lovely wife does not watch me take two instead of one. Keep smiling Bern. http://members.teleweb.at/bernard.shaw/poetry.html
