Summary

This study is looking at how men and women differ in their speech after having their voice box removed (total laryngectomy) and using a special voice prosthesis. Researchers want to find out if women have poorer voice quality and lower satisfaction compared to men. The goal is to understand these differences so that future care can be improved for everyone.
