Hoarse Voice Causes: from Cancer to Reflux to Enlarged Aorta “Acid from the stomach comes up and irritates the back of the throat, causing it to swell. This swelling affects the quality of the voice and causes hoarseness.” Acid reflux is also known as GERD: gastroesophageal reflux disease. A thoracic aortic aneurysm, though not a likely cause of a hoarse voice, can still cause this problem. An aneurysm is a dilated (enlarged) or ballooned portion of an artery. The nerve that innervates the vocal cords passes near a section of the ascending aorta, the great vessel that branches out from the heart.
