Voice and Speech after Laryngectomy

The objective of the study was to compare voice quality in three groups of patients with electroacoustical (EASA), esophageal (ESOS) and tracheoesophageal (TESS) speech. Voice quality, speech intelligibility and temporal organization of speech were analyzed. The results showed that average frequency of voice of TESS speakers is nearer to voice frequency of normal subjects while EASA patients can regulate frequency of the aid. EASA speakers have the best jitter and shimmer. In variables of temporal organization of speech TESS speakers are the best. It is concluded that air-stream source (lungs) in speech production of TESS contributes to speech quality of alaryngeal speakers.
