What can increase the size of your larynx?

The size of the larynx can increase due to hormonal changes, particularly during puberty when testosterone levels rise in males, leading to a deeper voice and a larger larynx. Additionally, certain exercises or vocal training can strengthen the muscles around the larynx, potentially giving the appearance of a larger structure. In some cases, medical conditions or growths can also contribute to an increase in size.

Why is my voice squeaky?

Voice is created by air being pushed from the lungs through your larynx, aka voicebox, and then resonance is altered by other parts of your head that move and or vibrate (mouth, nose, neck). The pitch of your voice is controlled mostly by the larynx. When the larynx is smaller, it makes a higher pitch; while a larger larynx makes a lower one. This is why children have higher voices than adults.During puberty, when the larynx is making its most rapid growth spurt, the larynx can spasm and cause unintended pitch changes.
