- New Voice Club (2001) - Throat cancer is a big killer in China. Surviving the cancer often means losing your voice box. In Hong Kong there's a rehab club with a difference - where former patients are teaching new ones to find their voice.

To remove the tumour in a case of throat cancer, the larynx tends to have to come with it. But there are ways to regain one's voice again. The most common is the pneumatic artificial larynx, which uses a plastic tube in the tracheal hole; another is tracheoesophageal speech, which involves plugging the tracheal hole. Although the science is getting there, losing their voice is an emotionally traumatic experience for most patients, and that's where the 'new voice club' steps in, lending support to these survivors.

What's the name of that device that they have to their throat............and what is the name that they also use the small handheld one...... Thank you for any help my uncle suffers from this I just want to know information
Electrolarynx
Auto tune tube
a voice box
That's not an electrolarynx, because it seems to be powered by airflow through the stoma. I suppose that makes sense, considering how Cantonese (and most Chinese dialects) are tonal languages. I think this device is called the ToneAir? Not sure if that spelling is right though.
Okay here is the deal!!!! operation that the person with cancer has is called a laryngectomy the surgical removal of the voice box. and the device that laryngectomy's use is called a artificial larynx. this device runs on batteries and makes a robotic buzzing sound so that their words can be heard.
Day 139 of trying to fight for my place in heaven.
I guarantee you most of these people got throat cancer due to smoking in there own doing.
Michael Johnson Okay ‘cause I worried there for a minute. I didn’t know if there was something else besides smoking that you can get throat cancer from. 😨
Yes my grandfather smoked and drank a lot before he had cancer. He is now left with a hole in his throat and speaks with the device.
@@ellynedube3037 Oral sex actually. And no that's not a joke.
@Michael Johnson
Fine and many other smokers didn't. There's still a fair amount of chance involved, it's not exactly 'justice'. We shouldn't look at these things in such a retributional, vindicative manner. Many habits are more dangerous or unhealthy than we own up to.
@@Scipionyxsam oral sex causes cancer? that's a new one.
