Vocal cord aging

As people get older, not only the skin will relax, but the vocal cords will also relax and shrink with gaps. The whole sound will feel old. The larynx is an important vocal organ. The vocal cords are shifted toward the midline when the pronunciation is made, the glottis is closed, the airflow exhales from the lungs and impacts the vocal cords, and then makes a sound, and then passes through the resonance of the larynx, pharyngeal, nasal and thoracic cavity, and the coordination of the lips and teeth. Different sounds. The length, thickness, tension and elasticity of the vocal cords play a decisive role in pronunciation. The laryngeal mucosa of the elderly shrinks, the nervous system's ability to control the larynx declines, and the vocal cords age. The decrease in the number of vocal cords and fibers reduces the relaxation and elasticity of the vocal cord muscles and poor exercise capacity. I am frustrated.
