This isn't really a problem, but more of a question/intersting observation. I have always heard that people deepen thier voice by yelling, coughing, etc. So wouldn't you think that people with CF would have really deep voices? I was wondering about this after getting mistaken for a woman on the phone for like the 50th time. It doesn't really bother me, but why doesn't the coughing strain/strengthen/w/e the the vocal chords and make my voice deeper?

heheeh, sometimes I lose my voice in the middle of winter or it deepens. Seems to improve over the summer when I cough less, so the damage seems somewhat reversable. My singing voice has gotten worse over the years, prob from a combo of the cough and acid reflux.

My voice is terribe! (though others might not even notice). It gets hoarse, skratchy, squeeky, nasaly, high-pitched, all at the same time. Its probably the most unattractive thing one could possibly imagine. I think its pretty funny sometimes how absurd I sound. The weird thing is people who call me (and don't know me) or when I call a customer service number always say, "can I talk to your mommy or daddy please?" Ummmm ok. Too bad I'm 34 years old! Geesh, now that gets frustrating!
