UMAR new concept

New concept, after treating 1560: Puberphonia, a voice disorder where males retain childhood high-pitched voice after puberty, is treated through redirect phonation. This is voice break, changing the frequency high to low frequency, larynx to pharynx. This therapy focuses on pharyngeal vocal exercises and techniques to lower the pitch and improve vocal quality. Surgical interventions may not be considered as there is no anatomical problem.

Redirecting phonation

Redirecting laryngeal and pharyngeal phonation involves techniques to alter the typical voice production mechanism by shifting the emphasis from the larynx to other parts of the vocal tract, such as the pharynx or oral cavity. This can be achieved through various exercises, including UMAR , utilities uvula to vibrate i and so vocal tracts to promote changes in laryngeal and pharyngeal activity. The goal is often to achieve a more forward, resonant, and easier voice production by reducing reliance on the larynx. 

Benefits:Redirecting phonation can improve voice quality, reduce vocal strain, and enhance vocal flexibility with low pitch voice especially for individuals with vocal disorders or those seeking to improve their vocal technique and in particular puberphonia.

New about: Puberphonia, where a person maintains his childhood high-pitched voice after puberty. New research and treatment approaches are emerging, focusing on conservative. These include techniques like uvula manipulation and resonance (UMAR), laryngeal manipulation, and redirect laryngeal to pharyngeal phonation.

PUBERPHONIA: A NOVEL APPROACH TO TREATMENT

Sudhakar Vaidya*, G. Vyas**

The method reported by the authors was incidentally found

to be useful, while doing direct laryngoscopic examination

of a patient of puberphonia. No reference is available except

from Dr M Kumerasan (Chennai), who has published his work

in book “A research work in Otorhinolaryngology” in 1992.

He used rush-miller (USA) laryngoscope and treated 11

patients up to publication of his research paper.[13]
