I've Always Been Soft Spoken Even As Child And Before My Diagnosis I Always Have To Speak Up To Be Heard
I have been to months of speech therapy. What I learned was , there is no cure for Parkinson’s loss of voice. But there is a method to recover what’s been lost. It’s called “talk with intent”. Be aware of your voice depletion and consciously speak louder and more aggressive and with improved pronunciation. It’s a conscience effort to make your voice heard. To others it is hardly noticed that you struggle to speak.
It works. I can now add that to my list of intentions. My intent to walk upright, intent to step out,intent to chew food, intent to blink, intent to remember , intent to write legible and my intent to live a long live with PD
Beach therapy I'm in ....😁
My voice is not much softer, but I am always hoarse sometimes worst than others and when it gets bad and aches they said not to talk to use hand signals. The worst part is I can’t sing at church, I sound like a bullfrog.🐸😖

I was the same.
How Does Parkinson’s Affect One’s Voice And How Far Into The Progression Of The Disease Does It Happen?
For Anyone Diagnosed Early Onset, Do You Feel As If You May Have Had Parkinson's Your Whole Life? Or At Least Much Earlier Than Diagnosed?
