Puberphonia and Treatments

Öz

Puberphonia (Mutational falcetto) is the failure of the high-pitched preadolescence voice to change to the low-pitched adult voice. It is usually considered a condition unique to men, although the disorder has been observed in women. Puberphonia is a functional voice disorder. It is usually effectively treated with voice therapy. For mutational falsetto, intervention was applied by modifying voice therapy techniques, such as larynx manipulation, larynx-depressing exercise, and producing vegetative voice. When voice therapy is unsuccessful, other interventional treatment options should be considered.

Puberfoni ve Tedavisi

Öz

 Puberfoni (Mutasyonel falsetto) , yüksek perdeli preadolesan sesinin, düşük perdeli yetişkin sesine dönüşmesinde meydana gelen bozukluktur. Bu hastalık kadınlarda da gözlemlenmesine rağmen, genellikle erkeklere özgü bir durum olarak kabul edilir. Puberfoni, fonksiyonel bir ses bozukluğudur. Genellikle ses terapisi ile etkili bir şekilde tedavi edilir. Larinks manüplasyonu, larinks bastırma egzersizleri ve vejetatif ses üretimi gibi ses terapi teknikleri tedavide uygulanabilir. Ses tedavisi başarısız olduğunda, diğer girişimsel tedavi seçenekleri göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
