<unk>  or voice<unk>  is the process of<unk> ing the<unk>  folds by not speaking and singing typically following viral infections that cause hoarseness in the voice, such as the common cold or influenza or more serious<unk>  disorders such as chorditis or laryngitis.<unk>  is also recommended after surgery to removal of<unk>  fold lesions, such as<unk>  fold cysts. The purpose of<unk>  is to hasten recovery time. It is believed that<unk> , along with rehydration, will significantly decrease recovery time after a cold. It is generally believed, however, that if one needs to communicate one should speak and not whisper. The reasons for this differ; some believe that whispering merely does not allow the voice to<unk>  and may have a dehydrating effect, while others hold that whispering can cause additional stress to the larynx.
