I had the procedure Oct 8th. There was a vast improvement within a couple of weeks. After month one I returned to voice therapy. So far so good. See the dr in January at the 3 month date. I knew from the start that this is only a temporary fix so we will see how long it lasts. I will updste in January.

Mine was done in Oct 2023 and worked very well up to 6/7 months. Now I need to do a repeat.

I went a year after the temporary injection before it became intolerable. I couldn't talk at all during meals, I would cough, sneeze and my nose would run, really serious. Both of my procedures I had to be awake to follow commands. They would ask me to make different vowel sounds to align the left paralyzed fold with the right fold. The sounds make the RVF open and close. The temporary procedure was done in the Dr's office, my wife sat close by watching the Dr's monitor. They just numbed the injection area like a dentist does. I watched a replay after with sound.
The implant was a big deal, done in a hospital. I added 2 attachments. one of each, they look a little pornographic. hope they are readable. Any I have other serious problem to deal with.
Happy Holidays, Don
