    I heard an expert on this very subject this morning on NPR. He said that the current theory is that the hoarseness, deepening or other changes to the voice which we associate with aging are in fact simply the result of repeated trauma to the vocal chords; in other words using them. Smoking exacerbates this condition. So presumably, if you are a 90 year old smoker who doesn’t talk much and never shouts or sings really loud, then you just might sound the same as when you were 25.
