Now Viewing: electrolarynxTag type: General An electrolarynx is a typically handheld medical device about the size of an electric razor or small flashlight, which is placed against the throat, allowing a person with damaged or severed vocal cords to synthesize speech. Commonly (but not exclusively) these are employed by people who have had a laryngectomy. Variants exist which can be worn around the neck like a collar.
