Voice Restoration and Quality of Life in Larynx Cancer
2023, Otolaryngologic Clinics of North AmericaCharacteristics associated with communicative participation after total laryngectomy
2022, Journal of Communication DisordersCitation Excerpt :Although long-term rates of spoken communication acquisition are typically high, many individuals experience significant communication difficulties after TL. Prospective studies have demonstrated that at least 40% of individuals continue to experience significant, socially limiting communication difficulties for six months or more after TL and often use writing as their primary method of communication (Armstrong et al., 2001; Gates et al., 1982; List et al., 1996). Those who do not develop alaryngeal speech have the poorest outcomes with regard to communication, satisfaction, and quality of life (Clements, Rassekh, Seikaly, Hokanson, & Calhoun, 1997; Hillman, Walsh, Wolf, Fisher, & Hong, 1998; Palmer & Graham, 2004).

2018, Auris Nasus LarynxCitation Excerpt :However, long-term training is required to acquire esophageal speech. Despite such training, the acquisition rate is low at 33% [17], and even if patients acquire esophageal speech, the vocal loudness is insufficient. Low vocal volume occurs because the esophageal volume ranges 40–80 cc [18], which is roughly 2% of the volume of the lungs (2200–4690 cc each) [19].

2008, Otolaryngologic Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Esophageal speech, although once the mainstay of alaryngeal voice restoration, has less clinical popularity today because of lower levels of successful acquisition and poorer intelligibility ratings in contrast to tracheoesophageal speech [59,60]. In fact it is estimated that up to 75% of those attempting esophageal speech are unable to successfully acquire this modality [61]. The advent of the tracheoesophageal voice prosthesis (TEP) has revolutionized postoperative alaryngeal voice restoration [62].
