Stop drinking alcohol and smoking, and avoid exposure to smoke. Alcohol and smoke dry your throat and irritates your vocal cords. Individuals with hoarseness caused by vocal overuse or misuse should adhere to voice rest, as serious injury (such as vocal cord hemorrhage can occur to the vocal cords if the voice is strenuously used during episodes of acute laryngitis. Rest your voice as much as possible. Avoid talking or singing too loudly or for too long. If you need to speak before large groups, try to use a microphone or megaphone.

The NIDCD also is supporting a researcher who is planning to make a "map" of all of the genes, proteins, immune system cells, and bacteria present in the normal larynx so that we can better understand the changes that happen during chronic inflammation of the larynx (laryngitis). Using these findings, models will be made that can be used in the lab to develop and direct future interventions for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory diseases of the larynx.

Laryngitis may be short-lived (acute) or long lasting (chronic). Most cases of laryngitis are triggered by a temporary viral infection or vocal strain and aren't serious. Persistent hoarseness can sometimes signal a more serious underlying medical condition. But in laryngitis, your vocal cords become inflamed or irritated. This swelling causes distortion of the sounds produced by air passing over them. As a result, your voice sounds hoarse. In some cases of laryngitis, your voice can become almost undetectable.

In many equine disciplines, you’re eventually expected to ride your horse without using voice commands at all. But as a basic training method they’re invaluable and have the benefit of being clear to the horse and easily transferable to other trainers or riders. Your vocal cords are two bands of tissue inside your larynx that open and close. When you speak, air from your lungs makes your vocal cords vibrate and create sound waves. Anything that affects your vocal cords and larynx can make you sound hoarse, including: Taste is not as important to horses as the other senses, but it is well developed. They enjoy a variety of treats that can be used to elicit the wanted behaviors during training. The horse's muzzle, lips, nostrils and nose signal emotions, needs, and state of mind. The following are indicators of the horse's state of mind as it takes in happenings around it: As humans we often rely on verbal communication to get what we want so voice commands while training a horse can be very important. But it isn’t just for pleasure that we need them, but also for our safety.
