The Voicetec
®
voice amplifier (REF 77350) is an aid for patients with limited speaking volume. It enables
very good amplification of the quiet oesophageal voice, in laryngectomised patients, for example. It is
especially well suited whenever a louder conversation volume is desired, in order to also be understood
even with high levels of background noise. With the aid of the Voicetec® voice amplifier, this is also
possible without strenuous attempts to speak loudly.
The handy, wireless and radio-controlled transmitter unit that can be attached to clothing, for instance,
enables a great deal of mobility. This extends the patient’s comfort and field of application.
Please read carefully before using the device for the first time. Keep in a safe place for future use.
