What is Laryngitis?
Laryngitis is a common condition that is characterized by the inflammation of the voice box (larynx) from overuse, irritation, or infection (Mayo Clinic). The larynx is a cartilaginous segment of the respiratory tract located in the anterior aspect of the neck (Suárez-Quintanilla, Cabrera, and Sharma).
How Do Vocal Aids Help When Afflicted By Laryngitis?
When troubled with conditions distressing the vocal cords, it is commonplace for the individual to be unable to speak clearly or loud enough to be heard. Speech intelligibility has been defined as the “behavioral standard of communication” and as the “degree to which the speaker’s intended message is recovered by the listener”. More broadly, speech intelligibility can be viewed as the “understandability of speech”. Speech intelligibility supports effective and efficient spoken language. Within the discipline of speech-language pathology, a primary intervention goal for most individuals with communication disorders is to maximize speech intelligibility through the use of effective treatment modalities to improve the functional communication (Schroeder).
In such a situation, speech becomes heavily labored and stressful for the person. While medication and treatment eventually help mitigate the issue, it may take several days or even weeks for it to happen. Vocal aids like amplifiers, microphones, public address systems, and more help in being heard without any interruptions or disturbances. Personal Voice amplifiers are considered successful preventive and treatment measures which are also low cost. The use of voice amplifiers decreases vocal load thus reducing the impacts of dysphonia[i] (Thomas LB).
