Treatment of Puberphonia is
Normally, childhood voice has a higher pitch. When the larynx matures at pubey, vocal cords lengthen and the voice changes to one of lower pitch. This is a feature exclusive to males. Failure of this change leads to persistence of childhood high-pitched voice and is called puberophonia. Type III Thyroplasty- It is used to shoen (relax) the vocal cord. Relaxation of vocal cord lowers the pitch. This procedure is done in mutational falsetto or in those who have undergone gender transformation from female to male.
