My father is having surgery and after surgery he will not be able to talk anymore; I need to find out about how he can communicate when someone calls his house and where to get the equipment and how much it costs.

Hi, Shawana! Contact ASHA--American Speech and Hearing Association. There are speech therapists who specialize in voice therapy, and there are ways to teach your father to talk without his larynx. Hope this helps.

I am sorry to hear about your father. My brother is also in the same boat, he see's a doctor this Thursday. Please let me know what information you found out. My brother might have to have his voice box removed too.

                                             Thank You
