is this device good for people who have lost their voice pitch range? and is it totally external ?? plz advise :)

[GriffinLaboratories]

An Electrolarynx is for someone whose vocal chords cannot make sound, such as a laryngectomee. If you can say "aaaah" then you will probably not benefit from an electrolarynx.

The device is totally external though. It presses against the throat and transfers sound through the neck tissue and out the mouth.

@TonyTZful dude !!!!

@natedog2004 Yes the Tru Tone is better in every way :~)

[TonyTZful]

@natedog2004 I will take that as a compliment :~)

[TonyTZful]

@SlipknotHeadless Yes it will but not as clear because your vocal cords will obstruct the sound clarity but as for the sound it will sound the same just not as loud. :~)

Thank God I gave up smoking long time ago, because I don't want to end up speaking like an Android, with that "creeping people out device".

What happens if you don't have a hole in your throat and stick one of these to your neck, will it sound something like this guy?
