Now, a major breakthrough has been made in a medical mystery, which left clinicians and specialists struggling to pinpoint just why she had been left speechless.

Sessions with a Glasgow-based private specialist has paid dividends, as she fully regained the use of her own voice for the first time in just over eight months.
