I have to admit I've never heard of the condition that cost a former WCBS-AM reporter the use of his voice. But he explains in written form - really, the only way he can now - what happened to him and why others in the biz should keep an eye (and an ear) out for this rare condition. 

Not a local radio story, but a sobering one for anyone who makes a living with their voice. 

I'm a radio reporter who lost use of my voice. Take stock of your instrument
