Besides having the most advanced features of any electrolarynx, there are a number of medical reasons which indicate you should be using the Ultra Voice Plus. These reasons have been summarized below.

A. The electrolarynx may not be suitable due to the following conditions:

post surgical swelling makes it difficult to achieve placement for sound transmission.
stiffness or scarring in the tissue results in reduced sound transmission.
skin irritated by use of the electrolarynx.
arthritis makes holding the arm at the neck for extended periods of time difficult or painful.
fibrosis from radiation reduces the sound transmission.
coordination problems make it hard to find consistent placement for sound production.
radical neck dissection or reconstructive surgery makes it hard to find an adequate sound transmission point.
Limited transmission site due to scarring or radiation treatment.

B. The tracheoesophageal puncture (T.E.P.) may not be suitable due to the following conditions:

shrinking of the stoma opening which reduces the ability to access the voice prosthesis.
insufficient pulmonary strength due to cardiac or pulmonary disease.
constricted or reconstructed esophageal pathway.
fistula.
patient can not properly care for the voice prosthesis.
fungus or yeast build up due to weakened immune systems in patient.
hygienic concerns or problems with T.E.P.
