Voice onset time (VOT) and vowel duration characteristics of speakers following the Singer-
Blom technique of tracheoesophageal puncture (1980) were compared to those of …

The voice onset times (VOT) of a large number of stop-consonant initiated syllables
produced by esophageal and normal speakers were measured. Esophageal speakers …

Although tracheoesophageal speech (TES) uses pulmonary air to drive voice production, it
was hypothesized that the speech breathing patterns of patients using TES would differ from …

Acoustic characteristics of two types of alaryngeal speech were quantified and compared to
normal speech production. High-quality audio recordings were obtained from 15 subjects …

This study examined differences among five tracheoesophageal, four esophageal, and five
laryngeal speakers on the acoustic parameters of intensity and duration. Each subject …

OBJECTIVE: Voice rehabilitation after total laryngectomy is challenging. In order to
investigate and understand the function of the neoglottis sophisticated measurements need …

Twenty tracheoesophageal speakers, 5 esophageal speakers, and 10 laryngeal speakers
were subjected to pitch perturbation measurement in the sustained vowel production. Mean …

Background: After total laryngectomy, the interruption of the upper digestive tube and the
section of the cricopharyngeal segment alter the high-pressure zone of the …

This study quantified the effects of the supraglottic maneuver (SGM) and super supraglottic
maneuver (SSGM) on laryngeal and pharyngeal movements before and during swallow …

The durations of vowels preceding voiced-voiceless stops in utterances produced by three
esophageal speakers and three normal speakers were measured. Vowels were significantly …
