How can puberphonia treated?
Question
I am a 25 years old man having voice problem for the last 10 years. I speak in two voices – low pitch and high pitch voice. The doctor told me that I am having puberphonia and suggested speech therapy for me. I have taken 4-5 sessions of it. The pathologist is able to produce my new deep voice but I am still unable to adapt it when I speak or start speaking. I forget how to speak with my low pitch voice and use my high pitch voice. Please suggest me any drugs or surgery to treat this.

You are suffering from puberphonia. Most of the times it is correctable by speech therapy. However, when not, surgery called Thyroplasty type 3 can be done with very good results. This surgery can be performed under local anaesthesia.
