Electrolarynx voice box’s sound almost exactly the same as they did 30 years ago. Almost unintelligibly electronic and staticky. Why hasn’t the audio quality improved over time to sound more natural?

We have “folds” in our larynx that tense and relax to regulate the way our voice sounds. An electro larynx is like you only have one vocal fold — one sound.

To create a device that works like a regular larynx, it would need to interface with our nervous system so we could autonomically control the vibrations. Science hasn’t gotten there yet.
