Vocal fold inflammation that impedes phonation. During the healing process from a viral or bacterial infection of the vocal folds, the vocal folds become swollen secondary to the body’s response to the infection from increased blood flow, etc., hindering vibration. Phonation threshold pressure becomes so high that it impedes sound production. V oice changes can range from mild hoarseness to laryngeal dryness to aphonia, evoking hyperfunction during attempts at phonation.[1]
