Breath-support/breath-voice coordination

Some patients experience problems maintaining voice sound and timing voice on- and off-set when using an automatic valve. In order to improve those features, training of breath-support by means of abdominal breathing and training of breath (closure of membrane) – voice coordination provides the patient with a better control over his or her voice production.
