If you’re living with Parkinson’s disease and struggle with a quiet speaking voice or other speech problems, you’re not alone. Changes in speech and vocal articulation are common symptoms of Parkinson’s. Many people with Parkinson’s have breathy, low-volume speech, which can make it difficult to communicate and may make social situations uncomfortable.
“My voice gets thinner and softer as the day wears on,” one MyParkinsonsTeam member said.
Fortunately, with the help of your doctor and a speech-language pathologist, you can find ways to improve communication and maintain a fulfilling social life.
