For those individuals unable to learn esophageal speech and for the period of time until adequate esophageal speech is developed, the successful use of an artificial larynx is of primary importance. The purpose of this paper is to present the results of an investigation which measured and analyzed the speech parameters of (1) rate, (2) duration, (3) pitch, (4) intensity, and (5) articulation of both good and poor artificial larynx users. In addition to the analysis of the above parameters, perceptual judgments of speech intelligibility and proficiency were obtained. The conclusions reached from this investigation have resulted in the establishment of criteria for training laryngectomized individuals in the use of an artificial larynx. The material presented can also be used as a diagnostic basis to determine why an individual is not functionally intelligible us using the artificial larynx. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
