Direct linkSparks, Freya; Dipper, Lucy; Coffey, Margaret; Hilari, Katerina – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: After total laryngectomy, surgical voice restoration is used to establish communication via tracheoesophageal voice prosthesis. Once voice is established, there is a paucity of information on what speech and language therapists (SLTs) should do to improve tracheoesophageal voice quality to ensure functional communication. No existing…

Louise C. Occomore-Kent; John C. Hardman; Justin W. G. Roe; Paula Bradley; Paul N. Carding; Joanne M. Patterson – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: Over 200,000 patients are referred onto the suspected head and neck cancer (HNC) pathway annually in the UK, with around 3% receiving a cancer diagnosis. With new HNC advancements in identifying patients at low risk of a cancer diagnosis, one proposal is a speech and language therapy (SLT)-led first point of contact clinic for low-risk…

Palmer, Andrew D.; Carder, Paula C.; White, Diana L.; Saunders, Gabrielle; Woo, Hyeyoung; Graville, Donna J.; Newsom, Jason T. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Social contact is known to be vital for older adults' mental and physical health but, because communication impairments often co-occur with other types of disability, it is difficult to generalize about the relative impact of a communication impairment on the social relationships of older adults. Specific aims of the study were to examine…

Evans, Eryl; Carding, Paul; Drinnan, Michael – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2009
Background: Surgical treatment for advanced laryngeal cancer involves complete removal of the larynx ("laryngectomy") and initial total loss of voice. Post-laryngectomy rehabilitation involves implementation of different means of "voicing" for these patients wherever possible. There is little information about laryngectomees'…

Aims: To compare voice quality as defined by formant analysis using a sustained vowel in patients who have undergone a partial glossectomy with a group of normal subjects. Methods & Procedures: The design consisted of a single centre, cross-sectional cohort study. The setting was an Adult Tertiary Referral Unit. A total of 26 patients (19…

Meltzner, Geoffrey S.; Hillman, Robert E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2005
A large percentage of patients who have undergone laryngectomy to treat advanced laryngeal cancer rely on an electrolarynx (EL) to communicate verbally. Although serviceable, EL speech is plagued by shortcomings in both sound quality and intelligibility. This study sought to better quantify the relative contributions of previously identified…
