I’d been looking at a sound switch:

 but haven’t seen it in the flesh.

 

We are also planning to try an air switch, but again I have seen one yet.

Hi

Any ideas please - a high level spinal injury patient needs access to a nurse call system. He doesn't have a reliable switch site but does have some voice.  Does anyone know of a throat or lip microphone operated, switch output device?  If we can source this we can interface it to the nurse call system.

Thanks
Mike Broadhurst
