“…In the pre-training condition, most of the participants presented adequate pitch, with a minority being characterized as Gr1, as commonly observed in the literature, which demonstrates that the pitch of this population is more grave 2,4 . Because this is a new sound source and because it is necessary to understand its behavior during the emission of the different sounds, the vowels "a", "i" and "u" were contemplated for the analysis of the vocal parameters explored in the present study, based on the basic physiology of laryngeal phonation.…”

PURPOSE:To assess the effect of a program of singing training on the voice of total laryngectomees wearing tracheoesophageal voice prosthesis, considering the quality of alaryngeal phonation, vocal extension and the musical elements of tunning and legato. METHODS:Five laryngectomees wearing tracheoesophageal voice prosthesis completed the singing training program over a period of three months, with exploration of the strengthening of the respiratory muscles and vocalization and with evaluation of perceptiveauditory and singing voice being performed before and after 12 sessions of singing therapy. RESULTS:After the program of singing voice training, the quality of tracheoesophageal voice showed improvement or the persistence of the general degree of dysphonia for the emitted vowels and for the parameters of roughness and breathiness. For the vowel "a", the pitch was displaced to grave in two participants and to acute in one, and remained adequate in the others. A similar situation was observed also for the vowel "i". After the singing program, all participants presented tunning and most of them showed a greater presence of legato. The vocal extension improved in all participants. CONCLUSION:Singing training seems to have a favorable effect on the quality of tracheoesophageal phonation and on singing voice.

Absolute mean differences at the region of the base plate between speech and non-speech conditions were most obvious while using just the FLD adhesive (4.70 mm). The use of the ENB significantly reduced the absolute mean difference to 0.58 mm (p < 0.02). The suggested set-up with a basis of the FLD adhesive combined with the solid ring extracted from the XB adhesive and the ENB showed the smallest absolute mean difference of 0.38 mm between speech and non-speech conditions (p < 0.025).
