A harsh, low pitch voice is evidently one of the hallmarks in congenital hypothyroidism. We have described the significance of voice analysis in a developmental study of three newborn and young infants and seven older children of congenital hypothyroidism. The voice analyses have been made with Cry Analyser (Vuorenkoski, L. et al: Acta Paediat Scand 1973: Suppl 236, 27) and with FO Indicator (Vuorenkoski, V. et al: Arch Dis Child 1978:53, 201). The data from the three infants followed up from the beginning of the treatment show a rapid primary development: the mean length and the mean number of cry sounds are normalized in I-3 weeks but the development of the pitch and harshness is slow. The clinical follow-up data indicate the possibility that the latency in the onset of normalization may have a prognostic value. The analysis of the voice pitch after the first year of life from seven patients (age 2-13 years) show that the pitch in these children remains below the normal level.
