Why we are producing electrolarynges LABEX
We got familiar with the problems that laryngectomees face next to the surgery. Real stress!
When we started developing speech devices in 2014, we found that for the last 12 years, there were no new devices introduced onto the market for laryngectomy patients in the world. The electrolarynx speech-aids in 2014 offered real-time speech time from an hour and a half to two hours. The EL's batteries were very expensive and with inefficient capacity. We decided this could be improved.
Of course, there were good speech-aid models from an engineering point of view. These models have already taken their market share.
Thus it became clear to us that we had to produce devices with significantly better parameters and unsurpassed options worldwide in order to be successful. In addition, we should offer patients exactly what they need.
- Our research has shown that most people who use a speech aid want to be able to change their intonation during speech.
- Everyone agrees that the patients will love to have more talking time and cheaper batteries.
- Equally important is the ratio of speech to side noise. Due to the technology used external noise is not entirely avoidable.
- In addition to all this, we invested our desire to create the lightest and smallest electrolarynges in the world.
Obviously, all these goals were solvable with the use of modern digital technologies.
So we decided to develop and produce modern digital devices with an excellent tone, functional design, robust construction, and options that significantly exceed the performance of the devices currently sold. And we did it. We forced the competitors to improve their products and offer more. Labex is certainly a step forward.
To produce robust electrolarynges that consumers will love.
We have developed and are offering our range of modern and reliable digital speech-aid devices. The first appearance of our Inspiration electrolarynx in 2016 agitated the market and forced our main competitors to urgently start developing new models. Some of them sold their businesses and others tried to modernize what they had already developed.

How to use the electrolarynx. The importance of finding the sweet spot
The loss of vocal cords as a result of throat surgery can be overcome in various ways. The use of an electrolarynx is the most certain and independent way to start speaking again after a complete or partial laryngectomy.
The Labex digital electrolarynges are designed to help people who have undergone laryngectomy surgery and have a partial or complete loss of the vocal cords. These are battery-powered speech aid devices designed to help the laryngectomee reproduce sounds similar to those generated by the vocal cords. Learn more about voice restoration options.
When the top cap of the electrolarynx is held against the tissues of the neck, the tone is transmitted into the oral cavity through the oropharynx. The appropriate movement of the lips, tongue, teeth, and jaw converts the tone into understandable speech (i.e., modulates the tone). See the easiest methods for learning how to speak with Labex digital electrolarynx devices.
Start speaking with an electrolarynx device
To be able to speak with an electrolarynx, a laryngectomee needs to press the device against the neck. Thus it is very important to find the spot that lets the maximum of the vibrations leave out of the mouth cave. This place is very person-dependent and skin condition-dependent. The best talking position is the so-called "sweet spot" which is the place on the throat that allows the sound waves from the electrolarynx to pass most clearly through the tissues of the throat and out of the mouth.
The importance of finding the sweet spot is expressed in the clarity of the sound produced during speech. All that depends on the sweet spot. It is individual for each person and it is up to them to discover it. More on how to find your sweet spot from Labex users.
Once you learn how to speak with an electrolarynx, you will not need anything additional to speak. Our robust speech aid devices have been developed for daily usage and we have designed them very easy to maintain. Depending on the model, Labex electrolarynx devices provide between 4 and 40 hours of speech time with a single charge. You can compare them and choose the best electrolarynx that suits your preferences.
