How long have you lost your voice before?

shuzzbutt · 22 Oct 2012 at 09:08

Just wondering if any forum users have ever lost their voice for a prolonged period of time?
Maybe after a wild night out or after a footy match or something similar?

l'm still waiting to get My voice back since saturday :/

A few times after concerts and never more than a day. Never lost it after a game. What did you do on Saturday?

Haven't lost my voice even once, yet. Feels like I'm missing out on something.

I believe you can infact tear a vocal cord. Also you can get nodules on them if you use your voice a lot, singers are prone to this.

The longest for me is 3 days. It was a blessing for everyone except me.

You’re not missing much. Open your mouth and nothing comes out or you just croak and are barely understandable.

Was this a punishment for something?

I 'lost' it for a day when I had a French mock speaking test (wasn't the real thing) that I wanted to avoid at school... does that count? xD

Never

I lost mine for I dunno a week or so starting the last day of a holiday, making getting a cab in Spain to the airport and through the airport a task, then back to school a couple days later with teachers taking attendance all wondering why I wasn't responding.

Was bizarre, up to that point I'd never lost my voice nor seen anyone lose theres, get horse, talk quietly sure, but barely even able to get out the lowest of low whispers.... was odd. First holiday on my own, not fantastic at Spanish anyway and unable to speak... very weird.

I lost mine for 5 months about 10 years ago after a bout of Pneumonia. A speech therapist taught me how to stretch my vocal chords and my voice came back within hours of doing the first lot of exercises. :cool:

robgmun · 22 Oct 2012 at 11:13

Couple of days for me. If you get to 3 and it's still gone then worry

VoG · 22 Oct 2012 at 11:15

Only for a couple of days during a bout of Laryngitis.

DrunkRufie · 22 Oct 2012 at 12:19

A day or so normally.
