ARTIFICIAL LARYNX DEVICE

摘要

Disclosed is a neck type electronic artificial larynx device (10) for enabling a laryngectomized patient, who loses laryngeal functions due to removal of the larynx, to speak. The invention provides a neck type electronic artificial larynx device including an oscillating signal output unit (21) having a frequency oscillator (211) and a pulse oscillator respectively provided with time constant circuits (213, 217) each serving as modulation means and having a time constant variable depending on a variation in resistance, each of said modulation means including a depressing means, and a pressure sensor (FSR) consisting of a resistor element varying in resistance by a depressing operation of said depressing means. In addition, the depressing means is combined with a power switch (29, 29a).
