Small right vocal cord swelling

  James was age 27 when he first came to me for impairment of his singing voice. His singing became more effortful over 3 to 4 years. There was roughness in his upper vocal range. He recently switched from singing baritone, moving to a tenor. . He has a very faint swelling on the right mid-vocal cord. ************************************
