I went to a "Care for the Voice" Seminar hosted by Loyola University
Medical Center (where all the opera singers in Chicago go for treatment
relating to the voice). One of the things that they talked about is the
difficulties singers have with their vocal cords caused by acid reflux.
Apparently, this is not an uncommon problem.

On the flip side, I had two similar meetings with an ENT who isn't known
for treating singers & got the impression that he thought I was a
hypochondriac (once because it felt like my throat was closing up & the
other time at the tail end of what I think was an ear infection).
