A review of _the laryngectomy literature, from the earliest mention of the laryngectomy surgical procedure to the present was conducted; with specific emphasis upon factors pertinent to laryngectomee rehabilitation and esophageal speech development. Psychological, idiosyn­ cratic, social, therapeutic and physiological factors were reported as affecting esophageal voice development. There were a great diversity of variables that might be predictive in judging acquisition of esophageal voice. However, much of the information regarding predictive variables was based on subjective reports, poorly controlled statistical research, or insignificant correlations. A Preliminary Esophageal Voice Checklist was developed to provide a systematic survey of variables frequently reported in the literature as affecting esophageal voice development.

Due to central position in the upper aerodigestive tract, its removal requires rehabilitation of all three 'systems' depending on respiratory airflow, i.e. Voice, Pulmonary and Olfactory functions. Rehabilitation of speech takes preference, but pulmonary and olfactory rehabilitation require multidisciplinary team effort in order to achieve optimal results and good quality of life. Keywords: Voice rehabilitation , Pulmonary rehabilitation, Olfactory rehablitation. INTRODUCTION larynx that team designed not only contained a tone – producing element, but also a heat and moisture exchanging Total laryngectomy, although highly undesirable, is still membrane. The developments in the area of voice indispensable procedure in treating advanced or recurrent rehabilitation after total laryngectomy have been cancer of the larynx and hypo pharynx. This procedure is phenomenal. Voice rehabilitation options available to the not without consequences and results in altered respiration postlaryngectomy patients are: and loss of voice coupled with disfigurement. The larynx has important functions in olfaction and respiration and is Esophageal Speech more than just an organ of voice production.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

References • 18 INTRODUCTION There are several a1aryngea1 speech methods presently available to the laryngectomized popu1ation--esophagea1 speech, the e1ectro1arynx, and the tracheoesophageal puncture, for example. These methods are used with varying degrees of satisfaction by the patients. To the average college-age student who has had no previous contact with 1aryngectomees, however, the speech methods may be met with a wide range of reactions and preferences. The purpose of this study is to survey the listener satisfaction of a group of college-age students who have had no previous contact with a1aryngea1 speech to determine their reactions and ratings of esophageal speech as compared to electro larynx speech. Comparisons will also be made between the data obtained from audiovisual presentation and from audio presentation only. Several studies have been performed to collect data comparing the acceptability of specific a1aryngea1 speech methods. Of these, many of the subjects chosen to rate the a1aryngea1 speaker were speech-language pathologists. Clinicians in the field of speech-language pathology may already have strong preferences for a particular a1aryngea1 speech method which will influence their ratings.
