Restoring Speech

Some people lose the ability to speak following surgery for cancer of the mouth or throat. With the help of technologies developed in Japan, they can communicate again using their own voice. One device uses recordings of a patient's voice before surgery to produce speech. And patients who have had part of their tongue removed can learn to speak again using an artificial tongue. We'll see how these technologies improve quality of life, and share exercises for a healthy and beautiful voice.
