Puberphonia, open the mouth and talk.

2nd  June 2025, yesterday I met a puberphonia boy. His voice is almost nil , feeble voice and almost a child-like..Whenever he talks, he never open the mouth. simply talk like a girl. I was so surprised. How to  treat him.we did Umar. I was able to get a little male sound. I put my three fingers in his mouth and asking to talk. I had a bite, then I put your blade in between the tooth and asked to talk. this is a great support for him to talk with open mouth. He is slowly regaining the male voice.

FINAL WORDS

Again! Do not be afraid! Keep on practicing even if look dumb, even if someone discourages you, even if someone tells you you’re crazy! Because nothing is impossible in this universe! Because even the universe is impossible itself! Yet here we are, we exist. And that not mouth opening puberphonia exist, and now it’s not… That’s it. I will not share name yet, but someday, you’ll know. Please share this on your fb, twitter, or anywhere on this earth so everyone with puberphonia might find this useful. Puberphonia is not a disease, it is just some form of fear or anxiety. Thanks!

UMAR Treatment, A scientific explanation.

Scientific explanation for UMAR success in puberphonia treatment.

Pitch of voice is somewhat like the strings of a stringed instrument. The tighter the tension, the higher the pitch. If weight increases it lowers the pitch.

Thyroplasty, designed to loosen the vocal cords to lower pitch.

Bilateral vocal cord implants, which are for people with thin or atrophied vocal cords.

Microlaryngeal rearrangement of soft tissue, which will add mass to the vocal cords, lowering the pitch of the voice.

It’s surgery, and can be a risk. But if you desire a deeper voice, and are unable to relax your throat enough to attain it naturally, it may be the risky option.

We temporarily add the mass of the uvula and get the low pitch voice. Make it happen by practice. In puberphonia vocal cords are there. After habitation the whole vocal track takes its regular function. We can remove the loading by the appended thread.

puberphonia articulated

Puberphonia, a speech difficulty involving the creation of low pitch voice from high, is typically treated with the articulation therapy techniques. This therapy aims to improve the production of the "low" sound through techniques focusing on uvula positioning, muscle strengthening, and auditory/visual feedback. 

Here's a more detailed look at treatment approaches:

Uvula Exercises:

These exercises focus on teaching the correct placement of the uvula to produce low pitch sound, often involving slight curling or positioning it at the back of the throat. 

Uvula Strengthening by increasing the weight.

 Exercises:

Exercises designed to enhance the flexibility and strength in improving control and coordination. 

Listening and Repetition Uvular Drills:

Using audio recordings of correct "low" sounds and practicing them repeatedly to reinforce the sound. 

Visual Aids:

Diagrams showing mouth positions and mirrors can be used to help individuals see and adjust their uvula placement. 

Auditory and Visual Feedback provide feedback on sound production, helping individuals refine their technique.

Correct treatment for puberphonia

In adult males, voice changes primarily occur during puberty and can continue subtly into later life. During puberty, hormonal changes, particularly testosterone, lead to the larynx (voice box) growing, vocal cords lengthening and thickening, and the development of a deeper, more resonant voice. After puberty, voices may continue to develop and stabilize into the early twenties. Older males may experience some voice changes, including a possible increase in pitch, decreased volume, or vocal strength but these changes are often subtle. Also called presbyphonia or presbylaryngeus, these issues can develop due to vocal cord atrophy, diminished lung power, and lazy structures. The same findings are expected in puberphonia. So, treatment only actiates the vocal tract. That is Puberphonia treatment 

Articulation Therapy:

This focuses on improving the physical production of the sound through exercises that strengthen soft palate and tongue muscles and improve coordination. 

Phonological Therapy:

This addresses the underlying phonological patterns of speech, helping the individual understand and produce the sound correctly within the language system. 

Exercises:

Examples include uvula positioning exercises, strengthening exercises, and repetition drills. 

Visual and Auditory Feedback:

Using mirrors, diagrams, and listening to the correct sound helps individuals correct their production. 

Individualized Plans:

Treatment plans to the specific needs of the individual, considering factors like the severity of the puberphonia and the individual's age and abilities. 

UMAR:

Increase weight of the uvula. In olden days increasing the weight of the tongue was tried.

Why did this procedure not continue?.

Old age and puberphonia, same pathology.

In adult males, voice changes primarily occur during puberty and can continue subtly into later life. During puberty, hormonal changes, particularly testosterone, lead to the larynx (voice box) growing, vocal cords lengthening and thickening, and the development of a deeper, more resonant voice. After puberty, voices may continue to develop and stabilize into the early twenties.

Also called presbyphonia or presbylaryngeus, these issues can develop due to vocal cord atrophy, diminished lung power, and lazy structures. The same findings are expected in puberphonia. So, treatment only activates the vocal tract. That is UMAR.
