Support for Your SpeechEasy Journey

“As a speech pathologist who stutters, I am in a unique position to assess SpeechEasy's life-changing effects. For more than twenty years, I used conventional forms of fluency therapy to help control my speech. But for a variety of reasons, the effectiveness of such therapy began to diminish over the past couple of years. When I first heard about the SpeechEasy device I was so impressed that I flew to Greenville, North Carolina to learn first hand from the inventors how the device works. Within a few seconds of having the device in my ear, my fluency surged. I was speaking fluently without having to monitor my speech. If I experienced a block, I would momentarily hold the sound, and SpeechEasy's acoustic inhibition would kick in to enable me to release the word! While the benefits are significant, it's important to remember that SpeechEasy is not a cure. There's a lot of conditioning that goes into using a device that essentially tries to trick the motor system. I've been using SpeechEasy for more than two years, and I'm getting better and better at enhancing it's effects in those 'difficult' situations.“

"The evaluation was very positive and informative. My sister, who is an RN, was with me and we were both impressed. I spoke louder, slower and I was able to enunciate better. I was also able to be understood much better over the phone. The SpeechEasyPD will benefit me by giving me back part of my life. You don't realize how important communication is until it is gone. I will be able to talk to my kids and 3 grandchildren. I hope my experience can help others."

“Before I got my SpeechEasy, I was working in dead end jobs and was never satisfied. Prior to actually getting my device, I enrolled in an EMT course for the volunteer fire department that I am on. About halfway through the course, I found out about the device and decided to try it. My goals in the EMT class were not for employment in the field, but for better patient care in our first responder program. After receiving my device, I decided that I would go to work in the field and am now employed as an EMT with a local ambulance service. I could never do this job without the device. Communication is a huge part of my job. I have to be able to communicate with our dispatcher, and other agencies on the radio and also communicate with patients in our care. Without the SpeechEasy, this career would not be an option for me. Thank you so much.”
