DESIGN OF AN INTRAORAL ARTIFICIAL LARYNX

Abstract

In this study,an electronic intra-oral artificial larynx system is designed. The objective of this study is to provide an alternative speech rehabilitation method to the totally-laryngectomized patients that will generate vibrations of fundamental frequency of human vocal cords. A prototype based on that design that is mounted into a dental prosthesis is established. The design of that system is presented in this paper.
