Almost one year post treatment and my clients have stopped commenting that my voice is raspy. So it must be getting back to normal. I still can not yell (at sporting events etc) or my throat gets sore. I was also concerned when my voice would "give out" after talking for a few minutes even with alot of hydration, but it is holding up well now.
