Whispering by Individuals Using Tracheoesophageal Speech

Some individuals using TE speech can whisper based on auditory-perceptual judgment, but most were perceived to be speaking during these attempts. The fact that some TE participants could whisper indicates the behavior is possible and might be considered a therapeutic target if it is of importance to an individual. The percentage of TE speakers who can learn to whisper, and the optimal training approach, are yet to be determined.
