Covid 19 can affect our voices and Covid recovery can take a long time. You've heard about long Covid symptoms and long Covid recovery but now we know that our voices can suffer long after overcoming this infection. Long Covid fatigue and long Covid cough can affect vocal health. In this video, I am sharing 5 factors to consider when dealing with voice issues long after having Covid 19.

Thank you so much!
I'm going through this right now. I had COVID in January and about a week after I started feeling better I completely lost my voice and now it's coming back but it's very gravelly. I make my living singing and I'm very very frustrated
I am very sorry to hear that. But as I said, be patient. Covid related voice issues may take some time. Speak to a laryngologist to see if they can help you.
I had Covid at the beginning of March and ended up with a gravelly voice after I was better
It has been 2 years since I had COVID and I still have Mucus/snot dripping down the back of my throat. Not as badly as before, but still enough to not be able to sing because of the mucus in the back. (And sounding nasal) I wanted to record my own music this year and it is still so frustrating that even rinsing the noise only helps for a few hours or less.
I am at the end of my wits, doctor tells me there was nothing wrong but they will make a scan soon.
So I should not cough so much? and rinse every few hours to sing properly? If anyone has tips or please share your experience.
Chronic coughing can have a negative effect on your vocal folds so try to lessen the cough if possible. That can be tricky but any little bit helps. Continue working with your doctor on finding solutions for post-nasal drip. Nose rinses may be helpful, especially before you want to sing. You are absolutely right that the effect is short-lived. Sometimes, menthol lozenges can help but they also have dehydrating effect so stay well hydrated.
Yeah covid has so many after effects. Can try liquid calcium magnesium naturally relaxes muscles
Thank you for the tip! I really appreciate it
My voice still sounds nasally 6 weeks after covid even though my nose is not stuffy any longer. Have you heard of this before?
Yes. It is not uncommon to have changed nasal resonance.
I had covid in 2020. I was in a coma for 2 months. I had a breathing tube in my throat for 3 months. I am better now, but I have lost power in my voice and my upper vocal range. Any suggestions would help. Thank you.
I am very sorry to hear that you had to deal with all of those troubles and still dealing with voice problems. If you have not done so, I suggest that you have your voice properly evaluated by a laryngologist. The combination of intubation, Covid and not using your voice for a long time could have affected your vocal folds in many different ways. It is important to know what your vocal folds look like and how they function now.
I lost my voice after covid. But after 2 years, I am recovering. I just left my voice rest, stopped singing and ate a very healhty diet. I also skipped any kind of prescription drug or processed foods. Covid left me sequels that affected my whole body. Your voice is just a reflection of your whole body's health. Heal the body and your voice will respond.
Thank you for sharing your story. It is great to hear that you are healing!
Is it normal, to lose your voice long-term after covid? I've never heard of such a thing.
@@etm567 Covid has crazy long term effects. It debilitates your whole body.
@@etm567Yes I lost my singing voice, Covid in early December now we are in May, I don’t know what to do to get my voice back.
I have struggled with vocal issues and I suspect Covid and subsequent viruses caused some paresis. although the ENT suspected silent reflux but the meds (which I was reluctant to take) have not helped. The speech therapist I saw thought there was more going on like spasmodic Dysphonia but the doctor didn’t agree so I’m pretty much back at square one but am about to become more consistent with my anti-inflammatory diet and find exercises I can do without a coach (since the cost for vocal therapy was astronomical).
Thanks for posting this information!
I am happy to hear that you found the video helpful. Sometimes, it takes time to figure out what is really going on with one's voice.
I am having the same problem. 2 ENTs and endoscopy show normal tissue but they didn’t inspect me phonating. NOTHING works. I am a choir teacher. Let me know if anything helps!
I never recovered my voice nor singing voice after Covid. It’s been two years now
Nearly a year now since covid and my voice is croaky and horrid still. I used to have a beautiful singing voice, but now not so much 😞 I think I'm permanently damaged.
SAME. Sometimes I cry because I used to have a beautiful soprano voice and now can sing mainly tenor. Ugh. And I teach choir. It’s embarrassing.
Ditto. I am an opera singer and also sing rock. I have had over 20 years of training, and since Covid this year, my voice is out of control with hoarseness and the worst part is I have shows that I cannot cancel. I’m freaking out which doesn’t make it any better. 😟
Literally cried just now, going to the doctor tomorrow to scan my throat. It is nice to read that we are not alone with our isseus. It is just inflamed and I keep having mucus in the back and keep coughing to get it out. My singing is not what it used to be.
I can feel your frustration. You left this comment 5 months ago. I hope you are doing better. If not, I suggest that you have your voice assessed by a laryngologist. They may be able to tell what is going on.
Me too, since after Covid I lost my beautiful singing voice. Almost 5 months. Please let me know if you’re ok now and what do you do? Thanks.
I lost my singing voice after Covid. 5 months now, I don’t know what to do, I am still waiting for a voice specialist. Teacher could you help me or anyone? Thanks.
My speaking voice is fine but I have no singing voice. It’s been 8 months now.
Have you had your voice evaluated by a laryngologist?
Me too. Are you ok now? Please let me know. I lost completely my singing voice after Covid. I just can’t believe it.
my voice has been gone for 2 years and never returned to normal, i have 5 kids so i didnt have the luxury of resting my voice, i do fear its permanent, I also found out covid can make you blind and deaf as well.
I am not sure about blindness or deafness but COVID can affect your voice. I suggest that you have your voice evaluated by a laryngologist. Resting voice is not the only solution out there, you have options.
My goodness, don’t tell me I could spend 2 years without my singing voice. Maudit Covid!
@@Asmrsoul-dm8xc and counting, I've tried everything, home remedies and medical, videos rely on belief and faith and that's great, but I bring the hard numbers and facts that as of today I've been without my singing voice from November 2021 till current.
With no sign of return.
It's like people telling you to believe in a afterlife and that your loved one is floating out there somewhere, I don't want to make anyone lose faith, but it hurt me more to avoid the reality that Covid does permanent damage, flat out permanent damage, and all the specialists seem to need you more than they are useful to you because they are still learning about all this.
This is my truth, this is what I'm struggling with till this day.
Amazing Video as usual thank you 🥰❤❤❤
Could u reply to me???
I went to an ENT specialist and he told me I had laryngitis he gave me steroids and I finished it but I still have pain when I talk and can’t use my voice as I used 😢
What’s your recommendation?? Go again to the doctor or what?
Yes, go again to the doctor. But this time, go to a laryngologist who works in a specialized voice centre. A regular ENT will not have much experience with vocal pain. A specialist will know more. In my opinion, you should get some voice therapy. Ask the doctor what is the reason for laryngitis and how to treat it. Obviously, medication is not the right solution here.
I'm 71, unjabbed, and I got mildly ill about 8 months ago for the first time in something like nearly 20 years. And I lost my voice, and it has not yet recovered. And that is something I do not understand. And then I got sick again, with some type of virus, that may have been RSV. I don't know, but I was not very sick. But I do want my voice back, and it is really compromised. I've never in my life lost my voice for more than, hmm. 2 weeks?
I am sorry to hear about your voice troubles. I can only imagine how you feel, especially if this is the first time. If your voice issues persist, I suggest that you have your voice checked by a laryngologist, who can do a videostroboscopy to assess their structure and function. They will also suggest the solutions.
Hi Ms. Katarina, thank you for the video. Can I get a copy , please.thank you!!
With pleasure, here is a link to get your copy: www.vocalfreedomsystem.com/blueprint
Thank you so much.
My singing voice vanishes at Bb, my break. It goes breathy and I have no clarity or high notes whatsoever. I had covid 3 months ago. Will it get better on its own? Is there treatment for paresis?
How do you know that you have paresis? Did you have your voice checked by a laryngologist? Just because your voice gets breathy at the high range, it does not mean that you have paresis.
I got Covid in 2023 and my voice is still junk
Used to have a fair to middle singing voice
Gone
Like constant dry throat
Post nasal drip and can’t hit notes anymore that I used to do easily
I’ve seen a dr
Got some meds for post nasal drip that has helped but not resolved it
And my throat drying out when I try to sing happens almost every time
Have you had your voice checked by a laryngologist? I would start there.
Hello mam I would like to get the information
Absolutely! here is the link: www.vocalfreedomsystem.com/blueprint
I would like a blueprint. My voice is very breathy and I’m struggling going a higher note. The higher or more I speak , I feel like my neck is getting squeezed. Please help thx!
Here is the blueprint: www.vocalfreedomsystem.com/blueprint But the blueprint is for a speaking voice, not a singing voice. Hopefully, you can find some aspects of voice work that may be helpful.
Wonderful post! I would love a blueprint too. 😊
Thank you. Here is the blueprint of how I help people with muscle-tension related voice issues: www.vocalfreedomsystem.com/blueprint
And interstingly enough, smokers had less issues with covid as the spike protein binds with nicotinic receptors in the laungs. So as odd as it seems, smoking, in a way, protects from the "coughing covid". But no, smoking doesn't help recover from covid ahah
Isn't that interesting? We are learning something new about Covid every day!
@@healthyvoicetips Oh yes and this is far from over ^^
I can't talk for 3 years
Please make a video on acute laryngitis- loss a voice- how to? ❤❤❤
I already made a video on this topic. here is one of them: ua-cam.com/video/gWj1aVH7UzI/v-deo.html
I would be interested in a copy. Thanks so much!
No problem! Here it is: www.vocalfreedomsystem.com/blueprint
I need to know how to recover my voice. I have recently lost my voice due to Covid.
I would like to know if you succeed. This laryngitis is like no laryngitis I have ever had. (I am 71, and was a performer for many years. So I have had voice issues more than once.) And my voice has been shot for about 8 months I think. I can speak just fine, but any other thing? Like trying to hum or sing something simple? Forget about it.
The very first thing is to have your voice checked by a laryngologist. based on the findings, they will make recommendations on the next steps.
I would love a blue print please and thank you

3 months after Covid I have zero notes above my break and my tone is gravelly and low 😬help!
Did you have your voice evaluated by a laryngologist? I would start there.
Sounds like just what happened to me. I've never had a good singing voice, but geez, I could carry a tune~! All gone.
@@etm567 How long since you had covid?
Me too. Almost 5 months after Covid. Please let me if your singing voice is back. Thank you.
@@Asmrsoul-dm8xc no, it’s still just as bad. I’ve got an appointment with a speech therapist soon, but not convinced it’s going to help.
My voice is almost completely gone after a severe virus 4 yrs ago
I am so sorry to hear about that. What did the laryngologist say? Did they give you some answers as to what it is and how to deal with it?
I was dx with MTD and SD
This is insane. I had no idea this was happening to people.
Thank you.
With pleasure
I developed MTD after Covid 9 months ago, I've been in various types of voice therapy for 6 months
I'm becoming concerned that I may never figure out how to recover my pre-covid voice
I am very sorry that you feel this way. It is very common to be worried about voice when you are dealing with MTD. I suggest that you talk about your worries with your therapist. The process may be long but there is always a solution. Don't give up. Keep going!
What is MTD? You should never assume everyone will know what you are talking about. I haven't a clue. And I get SO TIRED of googling -=-although I never use google -- these things I've never heard of, when you could bother, and I mean JUST BOTHER, to inform us.
But YOU WON"T BOTHER!!!!!!!! WILL YOU
Please what is MTD?
Can I ask if anyone has had JUST the symptom of vocal chords/ability appearing as mainly one, singular health issue?
I very recently sat in a crowded room of people and the next morning my voice became an octave lower and I felt as if there was "clogging" purely on my vocal system... it was severe but vanished within 23 hours...
No other symptoms.... ?

Do you still have this problem or was this one occurrence? If it is gone, then it was most likely an acute problem that went away with some rest. The voice has an amazing ability to restore.
Part of my voice has been gone for about 8 months, if not more.
