Musician Speaks Again Meet Ben, a musician who has undergone a laryngectomy, and hear his incredible story of regaining his voice with #AVAVoice. Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC HealthCare), one of the best head and neck cancer centers in the U.S. and our very first certified venue, has shared a spotlight on one of their success stories, featured on WMAR-TV 2 News Baltimore. These stories are at the heart of what drives us—developing innovative voice solutions that truly change lives for the better. Special thanks to the GBMC HealthCare team, including Ana Minisci, CCC-SLP, for helping us share his inspiring story! #laronix #true_voice

Did you know that, until now, women who’ve undergone a laryngectomy faced a lifetime of sounding robotic, male-like, or whispery? Losing their feminine voice takes a significant emotional toll, and we’ve been dedicated to solving this problem. Laronix has made history by creating the first-ever female-sounding solution for women who have undergone a laryngectomy. With #AVAVoice, these women can now express themselves with a voice that is not only functional but also feels true to their identity. Our mission has always been to empower individuals with voice loss through our breakthrough solutions, and this milestone brings us closer to making that a reality for everyone. We are delighted to have been featured by Channel 7 News and also have made it to #theList (https://lnkd.in/eSSct3zT), in recognition of these incredible achievements. Meet Sharon, one of the women we’ve had the pleasure of providing with a better voice. Thank you to all of our dedicated team members who helped bring this vision to life. Also, special thanks to Katerina Christof for the opportunity and of course to Ned Balme for the wonderful coverage of our story. This is just the beginning—we’re excited to continue pushing boundaries and making a change.

A sincere thank you to Alita Singer, Trade and Investment Queensland, and the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) for hosting our co-founder and Chief Operating Officer, Mousa Ahmadi, PhD, and for selecting Laronix to represent a successful example of Australian medical innovation to the New York tech community.

A Moment to Reflect and Celebrate For many patients experiencing voice loss, everyday tasks like making phone calls become overwhelming or even impossible. Too often, their voices are filtered out during these vital communication channels. With #AVAVoice, patients can make calls without the fear of their voices being distorted or filtered out. This change makes a huge impact on their wellbeing, restoring their ability to connect with others and live more independently. At Laronix, we are committed to empowering individuals with voice loss through innovative solutions that bring back the confidence and clarity they need to communicate—including making phone calls.

Another key milestone in our journey in developing breakthrough solutions for voice loss: Laronix has formed a groundbreaking partnership with Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC), bringing #AVAVoice, our non-invasive voice solution to laryngectomy patients.

Through this partnership, Laronix collaborates closely with the prominent Milton J.

AVA Voice enables patients to communicate naturally. Ana Minisci, MS, CCC-SLP, Senior Speech-Language Pathologist at GBMC, shared: “AVA Voice restores a sense of normalcy for patients. They can now reclaim their voice and, with it, a vital part of their identity." This partnership reflects our shared mission to enhance patient quality of life, empowering individuals to communicate and reclaim their independence. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/efGKTCdK
