How to choose electronic laryngeal caner after total laryngectomy

Patients who have undergone total laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer need to practice pronunciation if they want to regain the ability to speak. With the continuous promotion of electronic laryngeals, they have been accepted by more and more patients. Faced with various brands of electronic laryngeals, patients often do not know how to choose. So how should they choose electronic laryngeals?

At present, most electronic throats on the market are neck-type electronic throats, that is, they are used against the neck. When choosing, you should pay attention to the following points:

1. Some patients are eager to acquire the ability to speak, and cannot wait to practice before their bodies recover. However, they do not know that electronic laryngeal can not be used for patients who have not recovered well. It can only be used when the neck is in good condition, no follow-up treatment is needed, and the patient's neck has fully recovered, which usually takes at least 2 months or longer.

2. Not all fully recovered patients are suitable for electronic laryngeals, such as patients who have undergone bilateral lymph node dissection, patients with neck scars, patients with stiff neck muscles, etc. If the patient wants to learn to speak as soon as possible, he or she can buy a special electronic laryngeal, such as a lip-type electronic laryngeal. This type of electronic laryngeal can be used without pressing the neck to speak, so there is no need to consider the neck condition. As long as the patient's hands, mouth, and tongue can move naturally, it can be used.

3. No matter which electronic throat you choose, you should choose a qualified product produced by a regular manufacturer. Therefore, such products are guaranteed, while unqualified products may not achieve the desired effect, causing patients to lose confidence in pronunciation exercises. Good equipment is the basis of pronunciation exercises.
