Abstract
A stimulation system and method for providing training therapy to a human subject in order to strengthen a weakened voice due to aging includes an activating switch configured to generate a first signal, and a processor configured to receive the first signal from the sensing electrode and configured to generate at least one stimulation parameter based on the first signal. The system further includes a stimulating electrode configured to receive the stimulation parameter from the processor and configured to activate a glottic closure reflex of the subject based on the stimulation parameter by stimulating internal superior laryngeal nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve, or a combination thereof in order to selectively activate vocal cord abductor muscle and vocal cord adductor muscles of the subject.
