When does a boy's voice change end?

Both boys and girls will go through a voice change period during their growth, but some people's voices change more obviously, while others do not.

When does a boy's voice change end?

Generally speaking, the voice change period refers to adolescents between the ages of 14 and 16. The voice change period for boys is about 14-16 years old, and can be completed by the age of 18; the voice change period for girls is about 13-15 years old, and the latest is around 16 years old.

When does a boy's voice change?

1. The human body is constantly growing and developing, and so are the organs. Before the age of 15 to 16, there is not much difference between the development of boys and girls, and their voices are very similar. When boys are about 15 years old, they enter the voice change period, and the throat will gradually become larger, with prominent nodes, and the voice will become much heavier than before.

2. In fact, the voice change period is also divided into several stages. In the earliest period, when singing or talking, the voice is still the original childish voice, but when shouting loudly, the voice will lose control and become unable to make any sound. After several months of changes in the later period, the boy's voice is no different from that of an adult.

3. Parents should keep their children optimistic and provide them with various nutrients in time. Some boys have a rough voice because of their poor physical condition during the growth period. At this time, they can appropriately supplement their children with some lean meat, eggs and dairy products. Do not eat spicy food or drink alcohol. In addition, they should go to bed on time and maintain a good work and rest schedule.

Symptoms of voice change:

A boy:

1. Vocal cord changes

The voice becomes hard, losing the softness of a child, the vocal cords become red, congested, and thickened, and various gaps form between the two vocal cords (glottis), especially the back third of the glottis, which cannot close and forms a triangular gap, the voice triangle. This situation is very common, and the throat is easily damaged during this period, so you must pay attention to protecting it.

2. Changes in the throat

The human throat begins to develop rapidly forward and backward, up and down, and left and right. The male thyroid cartilage will protrude forward to form the Adam's apple.

2. Girls:

1. Vocal cord changes

The larynx and vocal cords grow longer, which is accompanied by hoarseness, narrow vocal range, and fatigue in pronunciation.

2. Other changes

Local congestion, edema, and increased secretions cause the voice when speaking and singing to be different from that in childhood and last for six months to a year.

How to protect your voice during voice change?

1. Speak

When they reach the voice change period, many children are unwilling to speak because of their unpleasant voices, which will make them depressed or melancholy. This is not good. If you want to improve your voice in a healthy and optimistic way, you must speak boldly and don't be shy or timid.

2. Avoid high notes

Children in the voice change period should be careful to avoid singing high notes, especially when singing. They should not sing high-note songs all the time. Doing so will not only be detrimental to voice change, but will also damage their throats.

3. Avoid long conversations

Some children will talk a lot during their voice change period, although they are not shy. However, this is not good. It will only increase the burden on the throat. Parents should advise their children to pay attention to the frequency of talking and talk less, so that the throat can get a rest and get through the voice change period.

4. Avoid talking loudly

Because it is the voice change period, you must speak softly when speaking to avoid excessive congestion in the throat and causing the voice change to develop in an embarrassing direction.

5. Daily attention

When the voice changes, you should also pay attention to the combination of diet. Remember, eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy, greasy and other irritating foods. While pursuing academic performance, parents should also let their children pay attention to rest and develop a good habit of getting up and going to bed on time.

6. Don’t smoke or drink

During the period of voice change, when children are young men, they often smoke and drink. It is recommended that parents should pay more attention to not let their children get these bad habits. Children themselves should also be careful not to damage their voices because of smoking and drinking.

Principles of healthy diet to protect vocal cords:

1. Do not eat or eat less irritating food, and try not to eat sour, spicy, bitter food such as garlic, pepper, ginger, leek, etc., because these foods will irritate the trachea, larynx and vocal cords;
