Vocal fatigue from muscular strain, whetherin speaking or singing, often results in this condition. The thyro-arytenoid muscles are the most important and interesting of the in-trinsic muscles of the larynx as regards purity and sweetness of of their fibers are distributed to the margin of the cord andare capable of limiting vibration to one portion of the vocal band. Itis easy then to appreciate how inflammation of the bands may inter-fere with their delicate mechanism. Impairment of the action ofthese muscles produces very marked alteration in timbre and rangeof the voice, which is weakened and may be altogether lost.
