Abstract
Speech is a multidimensional signal that elicits a linguistic association (Flanagan 1972). It is believed that human beings are specialized for speech communication, most evidently for speech production. Surgical removal of larynx - LARYNGECTOMY - leaves the operated individual - LARYNGECTOMEE - handicapped in speech production. The speech clinician helps in the rehabilitation of the laryngectomee by developing
some means of functional communication. The 'oesophageal speech' has been traditionally considered as the method of choice.
