Breathing Difficulty Due to Shaved Vocal Cords…?

What is it? 

Shaved vocal cords are the result of a known medical practice that is implemented when a baby is born with breathing difficulty. A surgical procedure called a “tracheotomy” is performed on the front side of the neck to open a direct airway through an incision in the trachea.

In most cases, a tube is installed and later removed at around 5 years of age or a little older. If the child still has a problem breathing, doctors will advise a further approach by shaving the vocal cords to open up the airway for better breathing.

Due to this shaving procedure, the voice becomes very high, due to the voice being deeply placed in the back of the throat and thus, appears quite hoarse and raspy. As these children grow up, their enunciation and pronunciation usually are very poor and they can hardly be understood, having problems communicating with others.

Treatment for this Voice Disorder

Advocating the Vocal Science™ Method, we will bring the voice up to the surface, employing the facial muscles for greater resonation of the sound. Via specially developed by us speech exercises, we then make their facial muscles work in full conjunction and coordination with the abdominal muscles for extra support of the position of the sound. As a result, the voice acquires more body (strong and equal bass, mid & high tones) so that it will no longer sound excessively high and, nevertheless, squeaky. And since the sound of the voice (due to special speech exercises and specially advocated scripts) will be lifted sufficiently away from the vocal box, whereas then the vocal cords will no longer have excessive mucous buildup, therefore allowing the sound of the voice to become much cleaner and clearer.

However, to assure that the above process goes smoothly, we also supplement our special voice/vocal instruction with natural herbs and homeopathic remedies along with it.

Consequently, through this non-surgical approach to treatment, the person becomes more confident and is assured that they will be understood by the people they will be communicating with.

Through our practice, we have found that people often receive promotions at work and even become motivational speakers.
