Electrolarynx (EL) Loaner Program Guidelines

Lary’s Speakeasy offers this Electrolarynx (EL) Loaner Program exclusively to Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) for the following purposes:

  • To evaluate whether an electrolarynx is a viable communication option for a patient.

  • To allow patients to trial a device before purchasing one.

  • To provide SLPs or HCPs with an opportunity to gain experience using and training patients on electrolarynx devices.

Program Terms

  • Lary’s Speakeasy will provide ONE (1) loaner electrolarynx at no charge.

  • The borrowing SLP, HCPand/or their facility assumes responsibility for the device.

  • Loaner devices are generally provided for approximately 30 days. Extensions may be granted upon request and approval by Lary’s Speakeasy.
