Abstract
This article examines the problems in assessing the proliferation of devices that have emerged internationally in the field of post‐laryngectomy voice restoration. Success or failure of the procedure will certainly depend on the subjects chosen and the device(s) used. The selection of potential subjects may be greatly improved by using the classification we have evolved from analyzing videofluoroscopic studies of over 200 laryngectomees. This classification is currently being validated by undertaking pressure and acoustic measures in existing laryngectomized subjects. These results are discussed in the text.
