Self-administered intelligibility practice for esophageal speakers.
Eight esophageal speakers used multiple-choice intelligibility training materials in a self-administered practice regimen. "Before" and "after" test tapes were made and scored for intelligibility. A naive group and the speakers themselves served as listeners. Both sets of scores showed proportionally similar improvements in intelligibility.
