Which reminds me, there is a ham in Italy somewhere who uses an

As I had a laryngectomy, do to cancer, 4 years ago, I
have a stoma. I have a Servox- made by Servona of
Germany. I don't use it; I really don't like the
sound of it. It's also a pain to carry. I use a
prostheses made by Blom-Singer. So, when speaking
I use the "air-injection-method. I sound better than
the artificial larynx use does. But it's up to the
user, as to what is easier and sounds better to
yourself. I also sound much better on a phone; the
electronic-speech-aids can't be properly used on a
phone. The last place I would try one would be on
Ham. Any questions...

I have seen one or two people around here years and years ago who used a hand held device like that, similar to that. At Scott Air Force Base, Illinois there was a woman and her voice sounded exactly like a mans deep husky voice.It was her natural voice, she didn't need a speaking aid device.
