Ernst Daniël Smid notices that his speech has recently improved, while his physical health is declining due to Parkinson’s disease. That tells the 72-year-old baritone in an interview with De Telegraaf .
“My speech has not been deteriorated in relation to a few years ago. In fact, it has improved something. I am very happy with that,” says Smid. The opera singer says that his medicines keep him going and that an operation, where electrodes were placed in his head, helps to reduce vibrations.
“I still benefit from that operation every day, and in combination with medicines my situation has even improved something. For example, my speech is less difficult than before and vibrating is also greatly reduced. Of course I have to live with the disease, but those improvements are precious bright spots for me.”
Smid further says that nowadays he can make himself well understood in company, something that was almost impossible a few years ago. Physically he has noticed a decline since the official diagnosis in 2019. “Walking is more difficult. Yet I try to walk without a walker as much as possible.”
