I have had ABD SD for the past 50 years, only diagnosed 15 yaars ago, to say the least it has been a difficult and challanging journey. My question to all of you ??
When you listen to your voice as you are speaking, does it sound normal, or is it as other people hear it ?? When i am speaking my hearing perception is that my voice is normal. However,when i listen to a recording of my voice i am shocked. How is this possible ?? |

It's strange isn't it, that we don't hear ourselves? We are just too close to our voice sounds. Our ears are right by our voice boxes, so it's difficult to get a clear idea of how we sound. People knew I had a voice disorder way before I did. |

My wife can tell I am losing my Botox effect long before I can. I think in my case it is just that I'm used to the voice now. I think I was more aware of the difference in the beginning. This question brought to mind how much less self-conscious I am of my voice than I was years ago. |

That's funny! I am the opposite. I am often acutely aware of every little break and hiccup while others tell me they don't even notice my voice. Go figure. Actually though, now that I think about it, if I am with someone I'm very comfortable with I do stop being aware of my voice and it does seem "normal" to me. |

I am like mspetunia. I am aware of every little break and spasm. My mother was a speech pathologist and even she did not "hear" the breaks in my voice for many years after I myself started to hear and "feel" the symptoms. |

I notice my voice struggles long before anyone else notices. I notice the spasms and the voice changes that come with botulinum toxin injections. |

I am always hyper-critical of my voice...Most people will tell me that it sounds fine, but I will notice the cracks, spasms, etc...Botox is definately a lifesaver for me...Ninety five percent of the time I have a serviceable voice with it...

Long before I was diagnosed with SD, I heard my own voice for the first time "on the aire" of a recording & playback and I did not recognize it. I'd say that is quite the norm. I find that my audiences are far more forgiving of my voice breaks that I, and am always amazed at their "non-reaction" once they are familar with me. That's a good thing. When we are hyper-vigilant of our SD influenced voice, well IMHO, that's not a good thing. Think about it this way, we still have "a voice", just not "the same old voice". Speech is such a beautiful and grand gift, in all it's many forms, and implies that we still can hear, think, process, communicate and enjoy the exchange of these gifts with others. Isn't it all good? Yeap. It is all good. Peace to you my friend. |

Yesterday, I was at a restaurant. It was a quiet environment. Six people were near me when I order my food. Two people turned around and looked at me when I started talking. I am guessing they never heard a person with SD speak. I smiled at them. Had anyone experience this? I should have given them a three fold sd card.

When my voice is bad, people tell me that I sound like I have Parkinson's...I guess the shaky voice of PD is similar to SD...I always try to be as cordial as possible when I am having a "voice day"...People on the other hand can be very rude...

Hi there Will! Yes, when my voice is bad I do attract attention in public sometimes. I like what you did. As the saying goes: Smile and the world wonders what you're up to!

When I have a "voice day" EVERYONE notices! I used to wait tables at a popular chain restaurant and some tables thought I was deaf because I get so bad that I have to supplement my broken voice with hand signals. Just have to smile and do the best you can. |
