New Voice- using Electrolarynx


Electromechanical Speech

Within this group, there are transcervical and intraoral devices. Both rely on the principle of introducing an electromechanical vibration that can be heard as a tone. The transcervical device (e.g. Servox) is placed against issue of the neck that will transmit the tone to the oral cavity (figure 1.1). The remaining intact structures of the vocal tract (tongue, lips and teeth) will modulate the tone. This articulation will than produce speech. Devices like the Servox are rechargeable and have volume and pitch control
