Writing on his personal page on the Google Plus social network, he also said he had been diagnosed with a thyroid condition called Hashimoto’s thyroiditis a decade ago, when he first underwent medical tests over the vocal cord problem.

In his post, Mr Page said that he had first suffered from paralysis of his left vocal cord about 14 years ago, after a bad cold had left him with a hoarse voice. He described the issue as a nerve problem that causes the vocal cord not to move properly and said doctors had been unable to find a cause.
Tests at the time revealed the thyroid condition, he said, adding: “This is a fairly common benign inflammatory condition of the thyroid which causes me no problems.”
Mr Page said that, following another cold last summer, he had been diagnosed with nerve damage resulting in limited movement in his right vocal cord. He stepped back from speaking at public events for a period later in the year.
“Thankfully, after some initial recovery I’m fully able to do all I need to at home and at work, though my voice is softer than before,” Mr Page wrote. “And giving long monologues is more tedious for me and probably the audience.”
