The vocal cords (also called vocal folds) are two bands of smooth muscle tissue located in the larynx (voice box). The larynx is located in the neck at the top of the trachea (windpipe). Vocal cords produce the sound of your voice, by vibration and the air passing through the cords from the lungs.

Like millions of other Americans, I had something clearly, and stubbornly, wrong with my vocal cords (also called vocal folds). I had been hoarse for several weeks, following one bout of bronchitis and another of reflux, a condition in which acid from the stomach backs up into the throat, causing inflammation.

But your vocal cords do more than just produce sound. They also protect your airway by preventing food and drink — and even your saliva — from entering your windpipe (trachea) and causing you to choke. Rarely, vocal cord paralysis can be life-threatening.

Normally your vocal cords open and close smoothly, forming sounds through their movement and vibration. But in laryngitis, your vocal cords become inflamed or irritated. This swelling causes distortion of the sounds produced by air passing over them.

Treating people who have two paralyzed vocal cords may involve performing a surgical procedure called a tracheotomy to help breathing. In a tracheotomy, an incision is made in the front of the patient's neck and a breathing tube (tracheotomy tube) is inserted through a hole, called a stoma, into the trachea.
