Note: Information based from the StutteringControl.com The Fluency Master is a miniature, wearable, electronic stuttering control device that looks like a hearing aid. It fits behind the ear. The Fluency Master can help control stuttering and improve speech fluency. The speed and amount of improvement produced by the Fluency Master in the treatment of stuttering are often high. How Does It Work? It is found stress and emotional factors may increase the sttuting of a person and stuttering has also a physical basis.
Research has shown that the speech muscles of stutterers do not perform the correct movements to produce fluent speech. The Fluency Master reduces stuttering by changing the physical factors that affect speech, giving the brain the ability to have more effectively control over the movement of speech muscles.
The Fluency Master helps with 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.
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.
Fluency Master Miniature Device | Is It Effective? The effectiveness of the Fluency Master in the control of stuttering has been experimented in clinical trials. At an monthly meeting of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, researchers reported an 80% rate of lasting success in 200 persons whose stuttering had been treated with the Fluency Master.
In clinical trials with 50 additional patients, improvement in stuttering was measured in recorded interviews before and after treatment with the Fluency Master. Before treatment, the average number of stuttered words was 26.7 per hundred. After treatment, the average number of stuttered words was only 2.3 per hundred.
Long-term tests of the Fluency Master for the control of stuttering have extended beyond three years. | What Are The Benefits? Benefits of the Fluency Master treatment for stuttering include:
