Voice Damage caused by Acid Reflux

Acid Reflux Voice Damage (GERD)

What is Acid Reflux?

Acid reflux is the back-flow (or reflux) of gastric acid that comes from the stomach, which then meets the esophagus, causing what is known as heartburn.

What can Acid Reflux do to your Vocal Cords?

Acid Reflux disease can cause your throat to become very sore. The throat pain occurs because stomach acid leaves the stomach and rises to the lungs and the esophagus. In this instance, the acid gets mixed with saliva and can affect your vocal anatomy and could cause you to lose your voice.

This can also cause symptoms like shortness of breath.

This is due to the body trying to compensate for voice degradation – caused by gastric acid reaching the vocal cords/folds/box. The reduction in air-intake, due to the above, then causes your vocal cords to strain. With that said, if left untreated, the risk of vocal cord damage rises, followed by potential voice damage or permanent degradation of voice quality. In this instance, your voice may sound deeper and it may have a thinner projection rate. The volume of your voice may also be compromised.

All the above problems make it hard for speakers or singers to properly be heard and are asked to constantly repeat what they are trying to say, which can be frustrating to both the speaker and the listener.

NOTE: Acid reflux can hurt not only your throat and vocal cords; it can also (in heightened cases) injure your lungs and other organs – including the heart.

An unpleasant taste in the mouth
