Aphonia is defined as the inability to produce voiced sound.[1] This may result from damage, such as surgery (e.g., thyroidectomy) or a tumor,[2] or can be a result of psychological means.

Aphonia means "no sound.” In other words, a person with this disorder has lost their voice and is unable to communicate vocally.[3]
