Certification courses
Good day ,
Greetings from Siva ENT Head & Neck Hospital.
In today’s tight economy, people standing out is crucial, where promotions are becoming harder to achieve. Quickly developing and preparing the right people with the abilities to be competitive is the key focus of organizations. Getting certified is a sure way to advance your career in any industry. These Certificates and Professional Development programs are designed over specific puberphonia disciplines, with a goal of providing practical knowledge that will give competitive edge among others.A pioneering treatment for puberphonia—a condition where post-pubertal males retain a high-pitched, child-like or feminine voice—has emerged from Chennai, India. Dr. K. Navin Bharath and Dr. M. Kumaresan, ENT surgeons at Saveetha Medical College and Siva ENT Hospital, have developed a simple, non-surgical method offering instant and lasting voice change.
Converting laryngeal to pharyngeal speech for puberphonia
1. Abdominal breathing by moving the hand.
2. Near the mouth place the palm and talk
3. Bend the neck and talk.
4. Snore or cough and talk.
5. Speak in a noisy place.
6. Push the wall and talk.
7. Lift the object and talk.
8. Play or walk and talk.
9. Humming and talking.
10. Lowering the larynx and talk.
11. Swallow or take food and talk.
12. Make an imobile larynx.
13. Avoid speaking from the larynx.
14. Speak from the pharynx.
And many more.
Exercises to Lower the Pharynx and larynx.
1. Shaker Exercise:
This exercise involves lying on your back with your head raised off the pillow, and then gradually lifting your head higher and higher, engaging your throat muscles.
2. Mendelsohn Maneuver:
This exercise involves swallowing and consciously holding your Adam's apple high for a few seconds, strengthening the muscles responsible for swallowing.
3. Masako Maneuver:
This exercise involves extending your tongue out of your mouth and biting down gently, while swallowing, strengthening the posterior pharyngeal wall.
4. Super-Supraglottic Swallow:
This exercise involves taking a deep breath, holding it, and then bearing down as you swallow.
5. Head Turn:
Turning your head from shoulder to shoulder, as far as possible without causing pain, can help stretch and relax throat muscles.
6. Yawn, then Swallow:
Yawning and then swallowing can help lower the larynx and open the throat.
7. Hot Potato:
Imagine having a hot potato in your mouth and avoid touching the sides of your mouth, which can help widen the throat.
8. Giggle Posture:
Pretending something funny is happening and feeling a giggle in your throat can help relax and lower the larynx.
9. Flip-Top Head:
Rest your chin on the back of your hands with your elbows on a table and imagine raising your upper jaw, which can help widen the throat.
10. Tongue Stretch:
Extend your tongue as far as possible and say your telephone number, trying to maintain clarity, which can stretch throat muscles.
11. Hyoid shift Maneuver:
This exercise involves shifting the hyoid bone (a small bone in the neck) with a straw blowing which can help change the voice .
Lowering larynx exercises in puberphonia training.
***-****
Isometric exercises do not directly lower the larynx, but some exercises, particularly those involving swallowing and vocal exercises, can help improve laryngeal control and potentially lower its position during specific sounds or movements. These exercises primarily focus on strengthening the muscles around the larynx and improving coordination between breathing and vocal production.
Isometric exercises:
These exercises involve sustained muscle contraction against resistance, with minimal or no movement of the joint. While not directly designed to lower the larynx, some isometric exercises can strengthen muscles involved in swallowing and vocalization, indirectly influencing laryngeal position.
Swallowing exercises:
These exercises, like the "hold and swallow" exercise, can help strengthen the muscles responsible for closing the larynx during swallowing.
Vocal exercises:
Exercises that involve a "d***y" or "yawny" sound, or modifying vowels, can help train the larynx to not always rise for high notes, potentially lowering its position for certain sounds.
Laryngeal height and vocal quality:
The position of the larynx can influence vocal quality and pitch. By controlling laryngeal height through exercises, singers and speakers can achieve a wider range of sounds and potentially lower the larynx during specific vocalizations.
Focus on control, not forced lowering:
While some exercises might temporarily lower the larynx, the goal is not to force it down. Instead, it's about developing the necessary muscle control and coordination to achieve the desired laryngeal height for different sounds and purposes.
