TruTone™ Electrolarynx
Description
TruTone™ Artificial Larynx
The Natural Solution in Modern Speech Aid Technology!
At Last, Variable Pitch Control!
As a laryngectomee, you know how important communication can be. The ability to add expression and emotion has long been recognized as a key to "natural" speech. Now, Griffin Laboratories, through the TruTone™ electronic speech aid, has developed a natural solution which will bring personality back into your voice.
Using new technology (U.S. patent secured), the TruTone™ speech aid lets you fluctuate the pitch of your voice using a single pressure sensitive button. Because you keep your thumb in one place, the TruTone™ speech aid is extremely easy to operate, almost instinctual. You can immediately start speaking with natural intonation once again.
Dr. Shute, a speech and language pathologist, states "Data indicate that the TruTone™ electrolarynx had greater frequency range and harmonic intensity compared to the Servox electrolarynx." Furthermore, "...findings suggest that the TruTone™ device approximate normal speech more so than the Servox electrolarynx."
Dr. Peter Watson, professor of Speech Pathology at University of MN concludes that the TruTone™ electrolarynx increases intelligibility by up to 14% when used with its exclusive intonation feature!
