" Question  I am 22 and I am at the end of my wits!  My problem is my voice has not broken, not even one bit, and it is really getting me down.  My brother&amp;#039;s voice broke at the age of 15 and he is two years younger than me!  I went to my doctor and he just said &amp;#039;Do you laugh at the Bee Gees when they sing?&amp;#039; and never did anything about it!  So I went to see another doctor who then referred me to the ears, nose and throat (ENT) clinic and even they said there was nothing wrong when they put a camera down my throat.  I asked the consultant about what procedures they can perform to break my voice and he said that they inject plastic into the throat, but there is a 50 per cent chance that the voice will go even more higher.  It has got to the stage now where I can&amp;amp;#8217;t use the telephone because they are always getting me mistaken for a woman.  From your experience can you advise me what other treatments can be used?  I read in a medical book that I may be short of male hormones?    Answer I can understand that this problem is causing you a lot of grief, but surgery doesn&amp;#039;t sound like the answer. I discussed this with one of my ENT colleagues and he seemed quite optimistic that voice training will help you in the longer term.  My advice is to discuss this with your GP again and ask if you can be referred to a speech therapist.  I don&amp;#039;t think that male hormone therapy is a good idea unless you are deficient in male hormones in the first place.  A significant deficiency is unlikely if you have developed normally through puberty in other ways, with facial and pubic hair.  However, if you and your doctor are in doubt about this, a simple blood test can measure your male hormone levels.  It&amp;#039;s good news that your ENT specialist considers your vocal cords to be normal. It seems likely that they will be able to learn to function differently.  Voice training is not a quick fix, but it does sound like a good bet for you.
