Hi LEslie,
Yes, thankfully my voice did "come back", and I'm singing still(doing L'Italiana
this summer). I started to study again when I was 20/21. I probably could
have done it slightly before that, but had stopped thinking about singing in
that way as an option. I was in my
college choir and the conductor suggested I study after hearing me audition. I
think time is the thing that
helped most for me. When I did finally start to sing again, my entire
voice/range(pretty large) was in tact.

Martin,
So did your voice come back? If so, how long did it take to recover and what
helped you the most?

As far as I know, when you sing (with good technique,
in a "classical" style) there shouldn't be any
difference in sound quality if you plug your nose.
However, I have a student who has a huge difference.
He is also quite nasal when he speaks. Does anyone
have any suggestions for exercises to fix this? Any
explanations for what's happening?

In my experience nasal sounding speaking and singing is caused by the
person tightening or flexing muscles around the larygnx while speaking
and singing yet also having good breath pressure. If the person can
somehow become aware of the muscles that are flexing, and then the
teacher find a way to coach the person to keep the good breath pressure
but take away the unnecessary neck muscle flexing.
