Abstract

The success of rehabilitating an alaryngeal speaker mostly depends on the efficacy with which the individual is able to use his voice and convey messages
intelligibly. Evaluating the factors affecting the intelligibility of the alaryngeal
speakers is important for the rehabilitation of the laryngectomees.
