    Abstract

    Oesophageal voice production, with or without using a TE shunt prosthesis, is usually characterized by relatively short periods of voicing, resulting in sentences of only a few syllables. Measured sub(pseudo)glottal and supra(pseudo)glottal pressure values as well as mean transglottal flow reveal an unstable pattern in time. This is most likely related to and depending on the condition and morphological structure of the pseudoglottis. Transpseudoglottal pressure is derived from pressure values obtained with a dual miniature wide band pressure transducer system passing the pseudoglottis. Measuring results will contribute to a better understanding of the functioning of the pseudoglottis, indicating also new ways for improvement.
