When you can not talk th re is a small electronic device wh ch has gone by the wayside c lled a Tru Tone Electrolarynx. Computers of c urse have swooped in and taken ver the day. But what if you can not use a c mputer? What if you want to sp ak to the person next to y ur or across the room. What do you sually do? (1) First you jump up and d wn. (2) Wave your arms. (3) Or dr p a book on the floor. WHEN YOU FINALLY GET THE PERSON'S ATTENTION: (a) Use s gn language (b) Use the finger alphabet (c) Gel pen for b st results on paper. I am going to d scribe to you this small electronic d vice which might give you a v ice and a chance to be h ard once again. (1) You hold it in one h nd and place it against your n ck. (2) You mouth the words. (3) The electronic device v brates and out comes your words. Yes, I w uld say it is a miracle, specially if you have suddenly become nable to speak or if you h ve been unable to speak for y ars. Your family and friends will h ve to adjust their hearing and r ally listen to your new electronic v ice. But once they get used to it th y will find they really missed h aring your spoken word. It is h rd for the person who can not sp ak to try and understand what you are try ng to convey to them. It l ads to frustration on both sides.
PROBLEM: (1) You may have a pr blem with people understanding you on the t lephone but do not stop trying to r ach them. (2) Your neck will get s re from pushing the device against it. (3) It t kes some practice to find the b st placement on your throat.
