This study is about identification of French tracheo-esophageal consonants which has not been not well studied in the past [1,2]. In the first part, the study concerns 3 reeducated patients using tracheo-esophageal voice (phonatory implant). In the second part, voicing is studied, comparing confusions before and after reeducation. These confusions are then confrontated to the acoustic features of some consonants concerned by confusions.
