[Dysphagia] electrolarynx

[mbuckie at dmc.org (Buckie,Marcia)]

Hello-

Our hospital has a new ENT who is starting to do head and neck surgeries, including laryngectomies. It has been quite some time since this hospital has had acute H&N patients (predates my arrival),  so our electrolarynges (the plural of electrolarynx?;) are really old and not working.

We have been approved to purchase a new one for patient training until their personal electrolarynx arrives. For those of you who work with this population frequently, what is your opinion of the best products on the market?

Thanks in advance-
