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 natural again. And when doing everyday things like cooking and socializing 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 surgery.
Bill started speaking hands-free four months after his surgery. He is married and has two adult daughters. He works full-time as an engineer. Bill uses Provox FreeHands FlexiVoice together with Provox® FreeHands Support™.
Physical activities like cycling, going for a walk or going to the gym is also less complicated with Provox FreeHands. You simply change from speaking mode to breathing mode. You can still speak while being active, by using your finger.
It is no secret that learning to speak hands-free again requires training. Your clinician or speech therapist will help you get started, but once you have learned to use Provox FreeHands it can become second nature to you. Soon you will know when and how to use the different options to suit your needs. Simply click Provox FreeHands FlexiVoice on and you are ready to go!
