Inspiration

Inspiration for developing a new training, uvula manipulation, and resonance for puberphonia 29 years 

ago, one boy committed suicide for making fun of his female voice in North Madras. I was employed at 

Government Stanley Medical College. We provide counselling for social voice changes. We conducted many 

"voice care" programmes for all the BT training colleges. We conducted seminars and conferences for the

public. More puberphonia patients are coming in for counselling. One day, a mother brought her 10-year-old son 

for snoring treatment. Mother informed me that the boy snores like an adult male [6]. Boys usually have a 

childish female voice. Intense vibrations that occur during severe snoring may cause the uvula to get longer and

thicker over time. In a small percentage of patients, the cause of snoring is a long and/or thick uvula alone. From 

that day on, we tried various snoring techniques for air flow to treat puberphonia. Since 1992 itself, I have

published 11 cases of my own method of treating puberphnia without surgery in my "Clinical and Practical ORL.
