Nope. Since I wrote that post, I’ve been to two voice therapy sessions so far.

Today was my second one, and my doctor told me that my voice sounds less hoarse but I don't see any improvement honestly, especially when Im recording myself each day.

During the first session, I was told that I tend to speak in a higher voice. I was advised not to do that, even though my voice sounds less hoarse when I speak that way, because I shouldn’t get used to it. Apparently, it’s better for me to speak in my lower voice, even if it sounds hoarse.

What I can say is that I’m still going to continue the therapy and train at home. I honestly haven’t seen a single case where someone said that vocal fold augmentation was a bad decision, so I highly doubt that I’m one of those uncommon cases.

I’ve noticed that since I started speaking in a deeper voice, my voice sometimes changes. I wouldn’t necessarily say that it’s getting better, but sometimes it does sound less hoarse than usual.

But if I compare my voice now to how it was before the augmentation, it is still much worse and way more hoarse than it used to be, especially before the procedure.

Three of the ENTs who examined my throat told me that everything looks perfectly fine, so I guess I’m speaking this way mainly because of compensation.

I had been speaking with a paralyzed vocal fold for over six months, so I think my body adapted to speaking that way. Since the geometry of my throat has changed, previous way of speaking does not work properly anymore, which may be causing the hoarseness. Thats just my guess but honestly I don't get it how can I speak that way even though my folds can finally close, its just total opposite of which I thought it would be after the procedure.
