Types of alaryngeal speech |
|
Definition
-
- Artificial larynx
- Mechanical device that generates sound
- Device has vibrating end and is placed against neck
- Esophageal Speech
- Inhale air into esophagus and tne release it as a belch
- Belch sound is then articulated into speech sound
- Hardest alaryngeal speech to learn
- Most natural sounding
- Trancheoesphageal speech
- Surgery with a prosthesis
- shunt is inserted to connect the trachea with the esophagus
- Device is open at both ends
- When stoma is closed, air passes from the trachea into the esophagus where it vibrates producing sound
