I lost mine for about 3-4 weeks... toward the final days of rad, then afterwards. Could barely sustain a whisper for a while, and simply didn't talk, but used a note pad and signals to communicate. Slowly came back, and mine was a direct result of the radiation; kinda cooked my goose... and my goozle. It does pass... it will take some time, but it does pass.
