Fluency Master Stuttering Control
A new device that effectively controls and relieves stuttering has been developed and tested. Known as the Fluency Master, it has been found to be highly successful for the majority of people who have tried it.
The Fluency Master looks like a hearing aid and fits comfortably behind the ear. The speed and amount of improvement produced by the Fluency Master in the treatment of stuttering are often dramatic, and the results are lasting in the vast majority of cases. Usually only one professional office visit is necessary.
Many people who stutter have been through several types of treatment without lasting success. As a result, they have given up hope that any new approach could be effective, and have not kept up with the latest developments in the treatment of stuttering.
How does the fluency master work?
The cause or causes of stuttering are not yet known. Although stress and emotional factors may increase the degree of stuttering, the emerging scientific view is that stuttering has a physical basis.
Research has shown that the speech muscles of stutterers do not perform the correct sequence of movements necessary to produce fluent speech. The Fluency Master reduces stuttering by modifying physical factors that affect speech, giving the brain the ability to more effectively control the movement of speech muscles.
The Fluency Master fosters better hearing of the natural vocal tone associated with speaking. Vocal tone provides information for the brain to use in guiding speech muscle movements. Vocal tone consists of a "buzz" that is generated by vibrations of the vocal folds in the larynx, and is transferred to the ears through the soft tissues, cartilage, and bones of the throat and skull. Vocal tone is a natural, internal component of speech, and provides a "background" sound that is always present inside our bodies when we talk.
The following example will help to clarify the definition of vocal tone. If you have ever heard a recording of your speech, you are aware of the fact that you do not sound the same during a tape playback as you do when you are in the process of talking. The reason is quite simple. A tape recorder does not capture the vocal tone that travels inside your body from your throat to your ears, yet you hear this sound every time you speak.
Stuttering control by the Fluency Master involves the use of a miniature microphone to detect vocal tone vibrations. The vocal signal is amplified and processed by electronic circuitry housed in a small hearing aid case. A tiny plastic tube carries the sound to a custom-fitted ear-piece. The amplification of vocal tone by the Fluency Master helps control stuttering and enhances fluent speech in the majority of people who try it.
The Fluency Master fits comfortably behind the ear. The Fluency Master is "user-friendly." It is easy to put on, easy to use on a daily basis, and does not interfere with normal hearing. The Fluency Master can help control stuttering regardless of whether the degree of stuttering is mild, moderate, or severe.
