Have you ever wondered what happens when your voice doesn't bounce back?
We've all had that morning-after moment — you wake up hoarse and raspy after a night of talking over loud music, shouting at a game, or teaching back-to-back classes. Usually, it's just temporary and resolves with rest and hydration. But what if your voice doesn't recover? What if the hoarseness, vocal fatigue, or even pain linger far too long?
In this episode of Impact Through Voice, your host Lisa Hugo sits down with Dr. Marc Muller, an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist, to unpack what really happens when your voice is overused, misused, or neglected. Whether you're a professional voice user — singer, speaker, teacher, or presenter — or someone who simply relies on your voice daily, this conversation dives deep into the mechanics and care of your most valuable instrument.
🎙️ What You'll Learn in This Episode:The anatomy of your voice box: What actually happens when you "lose your voice."
The biggest mistake people make when trying to sound louder or more powerful — and how it damages the vocal cords.
How to recognize early symptoms of vocal strain, nodules, and inflammation.
Why persistent hoarseness might be a sign of something more serious — and when to see a doctor.
The surprising connection between your nose, breathing, stomach acid, and vocal health.
The role of proper breathing, hydration, and rest in maintaining vocal strength.
How singers, teachers, and speakers can prevent lasting damage by learning correct vocal techniques.
Your voice is a musical instrument — and misusing it is like banging on piano keys instead of playing with finesse.
Chronic vocal issues often stem from improper technique, acid reflux, or poor nasal breathing — not just overuse.
Early detection and voice coaching can reverse many voice problems before they become permanent.
Proper vocal care involves both medical insight and technique training — a partnership between ENT specialists and voice coaches.
Dr. Muller is a renowned ENT specialist with extensive experience in nasal and vocal health. With a focus on breathing, voice restoration, and preventive care, he provides a unique medical perspective on how lifestyle, posture, and speaking habits affect the voice.
