Speaking hands-free

Speaking hands-free is a desire shared by everyone who has gone through a laryngectomy. With your hands free to make gestures, talking to people will feel more familiar. And when doing everyday things like cooking and being with other people, it is nice to talk without having to occlude your stoma with your finger. Many have said that speaking hands-free feels more like life before the surgery.
