Voice Problems and Parkinson’s: Causes and Management Read Article...
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member

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

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.🐸😖
