My husband had a laryngectomy last June. Unfortunately the radiotherapy badly affected his throat and he cannot manage more than an occasional explosive work. He is relatively young and not used to failure. He has worked diligently with speech and language therapists but even they are losing heart. He has had 2 rounds of botox injections which did not work. He's tried the electro larynx issued by NHS but it makes so much noise that he can't generate enough sound to compete with it. His throat muscles are thickened by the radio therapy so the only place it will work at all is on his cheek (this may be the problem with his lack of volume)
Is there anyone in a similar position who has found a 'tech' solution? He is becoming isolated, withdrawn, frustrated and angry.
