Singer Shania Twain revealed that she is losing her voice and is currently undergoing therapy to restore her speech as well as her singing voice.

Twain revealed to E! Online that years of suppressing and repressing her voice and emotions had damaged her vocal cords.

The 45-year-old singer revealed that she has a condition called Dysphonia, which brings about an impairment in the ability to produce voice sounds.

The condition manifested itself when she found out that her ex-husband, Robert “Mutt” Lange, was having an inappropriate relationship with one of her closest friends, Marie-Anne Thiébaud.
She talks about how her divorce affected her and in-turn her voice. “During the course of my divorce, I dug a big hole and stopped growing and searching and had given up. I realized I had to climb back out…You can only help yourself. Others can support you. Just asking myself what I was going to do helped make a place for optimism. You start to isolate yourself in your own misery.”

Twain reveals, “I had reached a point in my life where there was a bottleneck, physically, in my throat. Something had to give.”

She said that since her discovery, she is now on the road to recover her lost voice. “I’ve only just discovered what’s wrong. Next comes rehabilitation, which will take a long time. Physical rehabilitation, voice therapy, learning how to breath again…and the singing will come.”
