The SpeechEasy is the most advanced, smallest and effective new treatment for the problem of stuttering. It is small enough to fit completely in your ear canal, yet it uses an advanced microprocessor that has all the power found in a computer.

The SpeechEasyTM is digitally programmable with special computer software for a wide range of settings of Delayed Auditory Feedback (DAF) and Frequency Altered Feedback (FAF). The most noticeable benefit is the remarkable reduction or elimination of stuttering in a short period of time. Once the individualized prescriptive settings are determined, usually within 20 to 90 minutes, the fluency effects are seen. Other benefits include improved levels of confidence when using the device as well as cosmetic appeal. The device has no cumbersome equipment, and is virtually unnoticeable when worn in the ear canal.

What are the effects of the SpeechEasy?
The various models of SpeechEasyTM units are designed to dramatically reduce stuttering. They employ altered auditory feedback in the form of auditory delays and frequency shifts to provide maximum long-term benefit to individuals who stutter. They are adjusted to fit in or behind the ear, and are to be worn like traditional hearing aids.

The SpeechEasy is custom made for each client, and the amount of fluency generated will likely differ from person to person. The SpeechEasyTM can provide noticeable and immediate results, regardless of other treatment methods being utilized. The SpeechEasyTM can be used either in combination with traditional therapy approaches or by itself.
