Subject: RE: Damaged vocal Folds through Throat Clear
I really have no idea what to suggest. Four different doctors! What did they tell you? There's a helpful-looking PDF you can download that deals with physical-stress-related vocal dysphonia, and also a web page that discusses it. But no internet site can really be a substitute for live examination and dialogue. Have you tried asking in a dedicated voice forum? Seeing a doctor who is a voice specialist rather than an ENT? Where are you? Anyway:

(Sorry for the length of that URL but I put it there so you can copy/paste if the clickie doesn't work. It's the downloadable PDF.)

Best of luck - let us know how you get on.
