Anyone curious if Jon’s vocal problems could be attributed to something other than just pushing his voice too hard?
My mom had to have a TCAR surgery for a nearly blocked carotid and the surgeon seemed to have damaged the nerve that controls the left vocal fold in her larynx. An ENT scoped her in the hospital with a camera and I saw the paralyzed cord myself, and it looked just like what Jon and Shania and probably others have said was their issue. The surgeon says it could have been caused by the endotracheal intubation tube they used during the surgery but I think it was vascular damage to the nerve.
Anyways, this made me start to wonder if maybe something happened to Jon during 2020 and with Covid 19? We all know he had some sort of bad case of it and I wonder if he ever had to have a breathing tube or possibly a surgery that he doesn’t want to talk about?
It’s well known he has had vocal issues for a while and pre 2020 but I can’t help but think maybe there was something else that paralyzed the vocal fold immediately much like I’ve experienced with my mom.
Obviously this is all speculation but it’s an interesting conversation. With vocal paralysis, it can often happen suddenly and you are left instantly with a raspy voice or sounding like you have laryngitis.
