Do you think the reason Ben believed his voice was done for good because when he tried to go back to singing he had already entered the voice changing phase of growing ( alot of boys get their voices cracky at that time ) and because his parents weren't that helpful nobody actually explained to little him that it's normal?
To remind you, vocal cords take at max 6 weeks with unwoundy damage to heal, and around 2 months if it's surgical ( you can check my old research with cath :I )
+ vocal cords are like muscles and require constant use to remain good, not talking at all probably only got his condition worse ( but it can still heal back if he trains them again)
Also singing isn't just about the person's voice itself but also the skill and control of that voice, and to know how much of a singer Ben was, there's no way he forgot all that stuff .
I know how bad what happened, but to think about it maybe it got harder for him because he himself lacked acceptance? or maybe because his parents were DAMN FAILURES?
I still believe he would sound magnificent if he try..
