I feel sorry for this lady because she is sad she doesn't have her normal voice anymore. I would be very sad if this happened to me because it would feel awkward listening to myself with a different accent

when:occuring since 1981
where:port angeles, washington
why:she had an accident before that ended up eventually making her have foreign accent syndrome

-I think thats a very random syndrome and I'm not quite sure how it works so that makes it interesting.

If this happened to me I'd be like CindyLou and miss the voice I was born with and eventually i'd get used to it and grow to like it.

Who: CindyLou Romberg

What: One woman was diagnosed with a rare condition called foreign accent syndrome. Sounds like she could be from any number of exotic countries around the world.

Where: she's never left her hometown of Port Angeles, Wash.

When: doesn't specifically say

Why/How: The syndrome is likely related to an accident in 1981 when CindyLou suffered a depressed skull fracture after falling out of a moving truck, scientists say.




If I woke up one day, and I was speaking with a totally different accent out of no where, I would be concerned, obviously. I think it would be pretty cool, because it would be different. But on the other hand, I would get annoyed with it and probably want my old voice back.

Where: Port Angeles, Washington.
When: Two years ago.
Why: She fell out of a moving truck in 1981 and a depressed skull fracture. Now she possibly suffers Foreign Accent Syndrome.

This is really crazy and I don't know what I would do if this happened to me. Especially not being able to say her daughter's name. It must make her go psycho every time she even tries. But on the other hand, it's kind of something cool. I would kind of love to wake up with another accent :)

If i woke up one morning with a foreign accent i dnt kno how i would feel to be honest with you. I would have probably went and got it checked out. And if it couldnt be cured than i would just have to live with it.

Who-CindyLou Romberg
What-CindyLou Romberg sounds like she could be from any number of exotic countries around the world. She sometimes rolls her "R"s like a Russian, chops syllables like a German or turns an unsuspecting "W" into a "V," like a Swede.


Where-Port Angeles, Wash.

When-
just two years ago when she lost her voice for a couple of days after a visit with a chiropractor.

Why-"She may have suffered a small episode of decreased blood supply to the brain during the manipulation that provided an additional injury, which led to the FAS," neuroscientist Julius Fridriksson said.

Fridriksson said that FAS comes from a trauma to the left side of the brain in an area responsible for speech.

RESPONSE: IF THIS HAPPENED TO ME I WOULD BE SAD BECAUSE I LIKE MY VOICE AND IT WILL BE HARD TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE THAT I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THE PLACES THAT I SPEAK.
