Aging vocal cords exhibit increased nonlinearity, impacting geriatric phonation. Further biomechanical studies are needed to understand aged voice changes and develop new treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Laryngeal biomechanics and gerontology.

Background:

  • The aging larynx undergoes anatomical changes affecting voice production.
  • Current models may not fully capture the complexities of geriatric phonation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present anatomical changes in the senescent larynx.
  • To explore the role of laryngeal biomechanics and nonlinearity in aged voice.
  • To propose a hypothesis for understanding geriatric phonation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of anatomical changes in the senescent larynx.
  • Application of the Ishizaka-Flanagan 2-mass model to geriatric phonation.
  • Theoretical analysis of nonlinearity in voice production.

Main Results:

  • The Ishizaka-Flanagan 2-mass model suggests increased nonlinearity in geriatric phonation.

  • Increased nonlinearity may explain various observed characteristics of the aged voice.

    • Conclusions:

    • A nonlinearity model of laryngeal biomechanics offers a potential explanation for aged voice phenomena.
    • In vivo biomechanical assessment of laryngeal tissue is crucial for validation.
    • This research could lead to improved understanding and novel treatments for phonatory disorders.
