[Dysphagia] electrolarynx

[MBrawley at mcw.edu (Brawley, Mary)]

We have a variety of loaners that our patients can try (Servox, Optivox,
Trutone, Cooper Rand, Solatone), but most end up choosing the Servox.

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-

Marcia Peterson Buckie, M.A. CCC
Senior Speech Language Pathologist
Sinai-Grace Hospital
