I was recommended to TPI by another person who already had a Speak EZ. I sent TPI an e.mail saying I didn’t have a clue where to start or what to do and was referred to Michelle.

She answered all my questions and helped me through every step of the process.

I was having to wear a dressing with tape over the trachie stoma which I had to change sometimes up to 10 times a day due to secretions and could not speak unless my thumb was over the dressing over the stoma.

It was miserable.

I received the SpeakEZ and went in for an operation to open up my stoma as it was closing and I couldn’t breathe properly.

The surgeon put in the SpeakEZ (although it’s quite easy to put in yourself with a bit of practice)

When I woke up it needed a slight adjustment and all of a sudden I could breathe and speak. It was like a miracle.
It is hardly noticeable.

I honestly can’t thank the people at TPI and especially Michelle enough for changing my life for the better.
