Don't you remember how garbled most people's voice gets who have had DBS??? They don't tell people that little tidbit very often. Remember how your voice sounded when you talked into the wind of a blowing fan? That's just starters of how DBS alters your voice. Oh, and balance often gets worse.

If you want to possibly sacrifice your voice (it doesn't always happen), then go for the DBS. There are many benefits in doing so. But my voice is all I've got - and I'm not ready to give it up just yet!
