I’m so pleased for you. My husband feels his voice is going. I think we should get a speech therapist. Did you try that? This disease can be so isolating.

I have had speech therapy, and it has made a significant difference. It helps with the quality and volume. Several things I learned from working with a speech therapist were the value of reading out loud. It's something that we generally don't do unless we are reading to children, but it offers value to adult speech.

Often, with PD, there are also swallowing problems, and a speech therapist can help with this as well.

There are also some great YouTube videos with speech therapy exercises. Here is a link to one that I really like,
