Puberphonia need awareness and research

Puberphonia primarily affects males but can occur in females less frequently. Although not life-threatening, puberphonia can significantly impact an individual's quality of life, leading to challenges in social interactions, self-perception, emotional well-being, and even professional and social interactions.
Need for awareness
Understanding and Empathy: Raising awareness can help the general public better understand puberphonia and its effects on individuals, fostering empathy and reducing teasing, bullying, and judgmental attitudes that can lead to social anxiety and isolation.
Early Intervention: Increased awareness among parents, educators, and healthcare professionals can facilitate early identification and intervention, improving treatment outcomes and potentially preventing long-term psychological impacts.
Seeking Help: Many individuals might not be aware that puberphonia is a treatable condition. They might delay or avoid seeking help due to shame, stigma, or a misconception that the condition is untreatable or linked to negative traits.
Importance of Scientific Research
Understanding the Causes: Puberphonia is often functional, meaning there's no structural damage to the vocal cords. Research is crucial to gain a deeper understanding of the interplay of psychological, neurological, and physiological factors that contribute to the development of puberphonia in some individuals.
Improving Treatment Methods: Research is vital to refine existing voice therapy techniques and develop new approaches to treating puberphonia effectively and efficiently.
Enhancing Accessibility: Research focusing on the readability and understandability of information about puberphonia is important to ensure that online resources are accessible to individuals of various educational backgrounds, enabling them to make informed decisions about their healthcare.
In conclusion, a greater understanding and awareness of puberphonia are crucial to destigmatize the condition, encourage individuals to seek timely help, and provide the necessary support for their overall well-being. Continued scientific research is vital to unravel the complex etiology of this disorder and develop increasingly effective and accessible treatment options

To assess the readability of online materials related to puberphonia.
Study design
Online material review.
Method
The study was conducted by performing a Google search using the specific keyword “puberphonia.” The selected websites underwent assessment utilizing three distinct readability metrics: Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG), Flesch Reading Ease Score (FRES), and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL).

Thanks for the selection committee.

Frequency change

Laryngeal frequently is converted to pharyngeal frequently.
The fundamental frequency of the vocal folds can be changed by altering the physical properties of the wave's source or medium. This can be achieved by changing the length, tension, or density of the medium or by adjusting the speed of the wave within the medium. 
Medium Properties:
For sound waves in the vocal react (like a pipe), the fundamental frequency depends on the speed of sound in the medium and the length of the tube. 
Changing the pharyngeal soft flexible tissue medium will affect the speed of sound and therefore the fundamental frequency. 
The length of the tube also plays a role. Open-ended tubes have a different relationship between length and frequency compared to closed-ended tubes.
