I was Dr Haben and I had my surgery July 15th. My voice sample even earned a spot on the web site as the 64 year old post op.

Hi everyone,

I thought I would post another voice sample. This is me at 5 months and 2 weeks of healing.

Sounds great! Congrats on a fantastic result.

It seems your surgery worked, but in my honest opinion, you should use the potential of your new voice and work on prosody and resonance now. The surgery is a great help, but to use its potential , some additional training is helpful.

Yeah, I agree. I think my pitch is good, but I could do better on other vocal traits. I've started meeting with the same speech therapists I was meeting with before my surgery. We're going to focus on intonation and resonance.

Before my surgery I consulted a number of local speech therapists about this surgery. They all told me that even if it worked, I would probably still need voice coaching. I'm not really surprised to see I need that now given that feedback, but I'm still really happy i got the surgery.
