My new question is, has anyone had any experience with TEP? Apparently it is a prosthesis placed betweeen the wall of the trachea and esophagus, allowing speech in someone who has lost their voicebox and vocal cords.
I've looked on the net, and there is only limited "scientific" journals that I'm not privy to.
Love,
