Information Regarding How To Repair Damaged Vocal Cords

What are the Vocal Cords?

The vocal cords are two strips of elastic-like muscles/tissues located within the voice box. The voice box (larynx) is situated side by side above the trachea. Over time, with irregular use, the vocal cords can be stretched and weakened. In various cases, infections (like laryngitis), abnormal growths (like nodules, polyps, cysts, lesions), and overall vocal trauma can also play a role in developing vocal cord damage.

What do they do?

The vocal cords are an essential part of the respiratory system. Specifically, they are housed close to the esophagus – the same area responsible for carrying air from the lungs and out our mouths. The air you exhale from your lungs is driven into the closed vocal cords during vocalization. The mechanical function of the opening and closing of the vocal cords causes the vocal cords to vibrate, which produces the sound of one’s voice during vocalization (speaking or singing). For higher-pitched sounds, they vibrate faster; and for lower-pitched sounds, they vibrate slower.

Below are some of the vocal cord disorders and common health problems associated with vocal cord damage:

· Vocal cord nodules - These growths are thin, complex, and it feels callus-like during voice/vocal execution.

· Vocal Cord Polyps - tiny, soft growths that generally occur on one vocal cord. They are often caused by voice misuse and abuse, as well as long-term irritant(s) exposure - including toxic fumes, alcohol, tobacco smoke and other harmful substances.

· Contact Ulcers - It is a less frequent illness, but contact ulcers are the result of vocal cord erosions and sores. They appear to arise in people who use great force as they begin to speak or sing, rather than steadily gaining strength and healthy loudness.

· Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or cardiovascular disease may also affect the quality of one’s voice.

· Laryngitis – a viral infection which can cause vocal cord irritation including swelling and inflammation. Swollen/inflamed vocal cords can negatively change the tone of the voice as the vocal cords vibrate in different frequencies. If the inflammation is severe enough, in can lead to voice degradation or temporary voice loss.
