  • I'm sorry but were a small company so Medicare is not an option for us. Thank you for the compliment my father has worked hard to develop this device and I'm very proud that I am able to distribute it for him.

  • Hi Sir,

    Your speech is amazing! My class watched your Tokyo Artificial Larynx video and our professor said you produce the best speech he's heard from anyone using an artificial larynx. Can you please describe how the reed goes into your mouth without falling out? How far does it go in? Where does it get inserted? What issues do you have with it? Can you eat while it's in your mouth? Thank you so much!

  • Thank you for the kind words.

    Thae Tokyo Artificial Larynx has a cup that goes over the stoma. When you breath out the air is transfered through the device which causes a rubber diaphragm to vibrate. The sound that is produce then traveles through a tube that is placed between the cheek and teeth. You mouth the words as you breath out and you make words just like before your larynx was removed. It takes time and commitment to learn to use properly. I would recomend you not try to eat using it.
