1910Best.-Nr. 673961910. BKW 47/ 1. - Berlin August Hirschwald 3. Januar 1910 4° 44 pp. feine Broschur. THE FIRST ELECTROLARYNX WAS DEVELOPED BY GLUCK! First Edition! Electromagnetically Driven Devices - "As the disadvantages of pneumatically driven reed-based voice sources could not be adequately remedied these devices were abandoned especially after the appearance of electrolarynx devices which produced electromagnetically driven vibrations. The first electrolarynx was developed by Gluck and was composed of an Edison phonograph connected to a telephone receiver located in the patient's mouth. The Edison cylinder contained a recording of a singer's vowel 98. A subsequent version 99 consisted of a loudspeaker built into an upper denture Figure 12. The most famous electrolarynx is the Servox speech aid Servona Troisdorf Germany; Figure 13. It consists of a cylinder with a vibrating element. The top side contains a membrane that is driven electromagnetically and thus can vibrate. By holding the membrane against the throat the patient transmits vibrations that set the air within the vocal cavities into vibration. He or she can convert these sound waves into understandable speech in a manner comparable to the conversion of the acoustic source generated by vocal fold vibrations. A major disadvantage is that the resulting voice sounds mechanical and has no means for intonation leading to an unnatural monotonous voice. An attempt to modify the device by adding manual pitch control by rotating a knob was unsuccessful because control was again far from intuitive and thus very difficult to learn. Until the introduction of the PE voice the electrolarynx was the first choice for creating an artificial voice. External electrolarynges are still used today but only by a small number of patients."

Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering 16/1 2014 pp.215-245 Themistocles Gluck 1853-1942 physician and surgeon. He first invented endoprostheses from ivory in 1890 at Berlin when he performed the first documented total wrist Arthroplasty. He received the 1st State Prize of the Berlin University for his work on nerve suturing and nerve regeneration. The French surgeons Louis Léopold Ollier and Jules Péan had already recognized Gluck's importance in the 1890s. With his laryngeal surgery he achieved world renown. Nevertheless it took a long time for him to receive the academic recognition he deserved as a non-university surgeon. It was not until he was 70 years old 1922 that he was made an associate professor and even nominated for the Nobel Prize unsuccessfully because his work was considered too old at the time. unknown

First Edition! "In 1881 Foulis reported on 27 recorded cases of total laryngectomy. Half of these patients died of pneumonia and other infections within the first week after surgery. Another 25% died of tumor recurrence within ten months. In the same year Gluck recommended that in laryngectomized patients the bottom of the pharynx be completely sewn up in order to obviate the greatest hazard of laryngectomy aspiration pneumonia. By the beginning of the 20th century Gluck reported the mortality of laryngectomy being just 8.5%. This is extremely low considering the major problems that occurred in those days with anesthesia wound infection and shock. For example in 1906 the mortality rate for radical neck dissections was still 13%." "Gluck's modification of the surgical technique of laryngectomy in 1881 - closure of the pharyngostoma in order to decrease the risk of aspiration pneumonia - ruled out internal reed mechanisms. After all the trachea was completely severed from the pharynx in these patients. Accordingly a pneumatic mechanical voice source was devised by Stork in l877 following Czermak's lead. It was based on a similar yet external metal reed connected by an external tube with the patient's tracheal cannula and the sound conveyed into the mouth by another external tube. Between 1892 and 1918 this external pneumatic mechanical voice source was further refined by Hochenegg Gluck Gottstein Tapia Onodi and Stockman. Respectively their modifications consisted of a pair of bellows for a patient that was unable to exhale with sufficient strength a reed concealed in the patient's nose or upper denture an inflatable cuff for the tracheal cannula a reed connected to the tracheal cannula by way of a side butt to make non-phonatory breathing easier and a battery-powered compressor as air supply for the reed. In the 1920s MacKenty together with two scientists of the Western Electric Company Fletcher and Lane developed an external pneumatic mechanical voice source that was soon superseded by the Western Electric No° 2 type larynx. It comprised a soft-rubber tracheal pad to strap over the tracheostoma a flexible tube a slightly curved bronze reed in a silver cylinder and a mouthpiece attachable to this reed box . It was successfully marketed from 1930 to 1959 by the Western Electric Company and the Bell Telephone Laboratories: 5500 No° 2 type larynges were sold." "The first electrolarynx was devised by Gluck in 1910 and comprised an Edison type portable phonograph connected with a telephone receiver in the patient's nose or mouth. On the cylinder of the phonograph a vowel produced by a singer had been recorded. The electric current from the phonograph was converted by the telephone receiver to sound which was propagated in the buccal cavity air. There the representation of the singer's voice was given the timbre belonging to the patient's vocal tract. For demonstration purposes Gluck not only used a recorded vowel but also a phonograph containing a Waltz." Marein van der Torn : A sound-producing voice prosthesis.
