First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

After losing their voice box to cancer, some people learn to speak using their throat and esophagus (oroesophageal voice). This study looks at whether personality traits, measured by a questionnaire, are linked to success in learning this new voice. Researchers will study 40 adults who had a laryngectomy and compare personality profiles of those who learned well versus those who struggled.
