Abstract
Advancing age produces physiologic changes that may alter voice. Some of these changes are inevitable; others may be avoidable or reversible . In addition, many treatable medical conditions may cause voice chang es similar to those of aging. It is essential that all voice care prov iders be familiar with the expected changes of aging, and be alert to reversible conditions that may adversely affect phonation and be mista ken for presbyphonia.
