Presently this page is limited to audio examples of pitch surgeries. All of the "Before" recordings were made with professional equipment in my office. Many of the "After" recordings were made over the telephone or on the patient's computer and this will affect the audio quality.

Her main issue of the surgery has been low-volume since she works at a job with a lot of loud background noise.

She had a previous cricothyroid approximation which raised her pitch slightly. The "before" recording here is after the cricothyroid approximation surgery. Between the 2 surgeries she had some improvement in pitch.

She initially had a complication from a Trach shave where her pitch dropped. She then had several procedures trying to correct this including cricothyroid approximation, vocal cord webbing and a laser procedure. Her initial voice is after all of these procedures.

She had a revision feminization laryngoplasty surgery to try and further improve her voice after this recording but I have no further follow-up on the outcome.
