I came up with this idea because I am a singer myself. I have always loved to sing and have been singing since I was nine years old. However, in 2023 I noticed that my voice sounded different than usual. My voice was hoarse a lot and I couldn’t hit the high notes like I used to. I went to a speech pathologist and had a laryngoscopy. Once I had this test, I learned that I had vocal nodules. They were caused by misusing my voice. For years I overused my voice and would sing big songs without properly hydrating or warming up my voice. When I got my diagnosis, I thought my world was ending. However, I started taking vocal therapy and with time my vocal nodules got smaller and smaller. The only problem was that I couldn’t track my progress at home and would have to come into my speech pathologist’s office to see how my voice was doing. That is why I created HealthyVoice. By being able to track my voice in real time I can stop as soon as I know my voice is too tired to be singing. I hope this device can help people take better care of their voices.
