Laryngitis can have several causes.

- One is overuse, either for too long a period, or yelling too loudly.

- Bacterial infections such as strep throat can cause swelling (edema) that limits the vocal cord vibration.

- Burns from heated air, or chemical inhalation, or acid reflux, can all cause laryngeal damage.

- Nerve damage to the vocal nerves can prevent the cords from responding.

One other cause is psychological, called psychogenic aphonia. The cords are undamaged but speaking is not possible. This can result from psychological trauma or anxiety.
