Damage to the nerve that controls the diaphragm the (phrenic nerve) or infiltration of the diaphragm by lung cancer or similar tumors can also cause elevation of half of the diaphragm. lung collapse, lung fibrosis, painful pleurisy, pulmonary embolus, or a rib fracture may cause elevation of half of the diaphragm. If there is acute elevation of the entire diaphragm combined with paralysis of both of the phrenic nerves, sudden death may occur.

The diaphragm is the part of the speaker that physically interacts with the air to produce sound.
