Abstract

Of 450 patients were obtained questionnaires by interview or mail.<br>The relationships of selection of the communication methods they used were surveyed such as Esophageal Speech (ES), Electronics Larynx (EL), Writing Conversation (WC) and Gesture Conversation (GC). <br>The results revealed significant correlation of ES to EL, WC, GC negatively, whereas WC positively with GC. <br>The feasibility of ES seems to make reduced usage of other methods. GC as well as WC were however remaining even when ES successfully achieved. <br>Making voice would not only bring satisfactions to the patient who lost his communicational method, but also enjoy of one's existence on the mental side.
