Artificial Larynx
An Artificial Larynx speech aid is a device used to produce sound in individuals who have lost their natural voice box due to medical conditions such as laryngeal cancer or trauma. This electronic device generates vibrations that mimic the sound of the voice, allowing individuals to communicate verbally. Artificial larynges are commonly used as a speech aid for those unable to produce vocal sounds naturally. They come in various types, including handheld, external, and implantable options, tailored to the specific needs of the user. These devices provide a crucial means of restoring speech and improving quality of life for individuals with voice box impairments.
