Things eventually heal up, but the raspy voice will only get so much better, then level off at some stage. This is because there is scar tissue on your cords now from the treatments. In my case I'm good for about 45 minutes of continuous talking, then things go south pretty fast. When I lecture, I start to lose my voice at about an hour. If I go to anyplace where I really raise my voice to be heard, like a sporting event or loud concert, the effect sets in sooner. The next day things are back to normal. This is at about 5 years out from treatments. So I would guess that you will still have more improvement ahead of you, but some issues will remain over the rest of your life.
