After undergoing surgery for partial or total laryngectomy due to throat cancer or accidental damage to the larynx, with the consequent removal of the vocal cords, one is no longer able to speak. This condition is due to the absence of vibrations which were previously produced by the vocal cords. To overcome this challenge, there is no solution other than to artificially produce these vibrations.The ROMET Electronic Larynx or Electrolarynx, produces such vibrations and permits the user to emit clear and very comprehensible vocal sounds.The Romet Model R310 Electrolarynx Includes:2 Year WarrantyDelrin Barrel with Exclusive, New Soft-Grip Barrel w/Anti-Roll FeatureLarger, Ergonomic On/Off ButtonExternal Pitch and Volume ControlsTwo-9V Lithium Batteries w/Smart ChargerLanyard(Important reminder - See a Speech Language Pathologist for help learning where to best use the device on your neck)
An assembly of battery-powered, personal-worn, devices designed to amplify the loudness of the voice of a person with reduced vocal capacity (e.g., due to impairment of throat or chest muscles, partial paralysis of vocal cords, diminished lung capacity). It typically includes a dedicated microphone, an electronic amplifier, and a loudspeaker. Assemblies with special adaptors that are intended for use with an artificial larynx, a transoesophageal puncture tube, and/or other prostheses or implants are available. Some amplifiers are available as an integral part of an artificial larynx.
