Why does the voice change after a stroke?

"Aphasia is actually an impairment of language, speech and communication, and it occurs following some kind of head injury or a stroke. The impairment is in the four channels of language - difficulty speaking, auditory comprehension, reading and writing," defines Mor Zaira, communication clinician at the Adler Center for Aphasia at Hadassah Academic College, and clarifies What is meant by difficulty in auditory understanding: "Hearing is normal, but the brain does not decode the word properly". So how do we address a person who suffered from aphasia?

Dr. Bloch asks Moore in conclusion. "What is important is to speak face to face, speak slowly - but not too slowly," explains Moore, "I will try as much as possible to speak in simple sentences, and not jump from topic to topic. Other things that can greatly help to understand is to talk in a quiet environment, and try to express the same idea In different ways." But one thing is more important than anything, according to Moore: "The most important thing is patience. To give them time to understand and express themselves. These are not people whose intelligence has been damaged, not at all. They just need patience." Now on the vocal side: the relationship between the inner voice and the outer voice: when we do not have the ability to express ourselves as accurately or as quickly as the thought is formed, the loss creates a crack in the inner trusamongstst ourselves. I came across a number of patients in the clinic who experienced the aforementioned difficulty and the rehabilitation was long both physically and emotionally. 1. There is disharmony between the inner and outer voice at the physical level. They want to say A, but it comes out as B, which requires a lot of training

. 2. On the emotional level, precisely because of the situation, it strips that person of his sarcasm, and fast-talking, which can cause on the one hand great frustration and on the other hand a rediscovery of the "self".

Think for a moment, who would we be without the ability to express ourselves?

A simple request like turning down the TV or telling a loved one how we feel, requires a lot of effort, planning, and vocal production.

3. From a vocal diagnosis conducted for the patient who completed the process using the coalching method, it emerged that before the incident, the client was a cynical person, "superficial" and "preoccupied with blandness", in his own words.

By working with his voice, he identified hidden sounds and tones that led to the cracking of inhibitory patterns, which would not have been revealed if it were not for the case. Through a fascinating journey to reconnect with his voice, several things happened: * Now there is complete harmony between the thought, the emotion, and the message. He takes time to form the essence of what he wants to say. *The inner voice has become a beacon, a kind of compass for deep inner listening, which helps to filter unnecessary background noises, and strengthens inner security. *The voice became stronger and more physically present than before, because we worked on the technical, mental, and emotional levels, which created an extraordinary uniformity. In conclusion, the sound is everything and the more we know, the more we can fill ourselves and the space with the right frequency.

Studies talk a lot about early identification of the signs of a stroke, but I will talk for a moment about the change that occurs in the inner and outer voice after the incident.
