SpeechEasy®

What is the SpeechEasy® fluency-enhancing device?

The SpeechEasy® device is the smallest, most discreet fluency-enhancing device available. The combination of the SpeechEasy® device and therapy techniques provides an integrated approach to stuttering management.

The SpeechEasy® device produces natural sounding speech, reduces stuttering in 80-90% of the stuttering population, and reduces stuttering regardless of the rate of speech.

The SpeechEasy® is a 100% digital signal, combines delayed auditory feedback (DAF) and frequency altered feedback (FAF), and uses an adaptable digital platform capable of being upgraded without having to buy a new device.

How satisfied are individuals who previously obtained a SpeechEasy® device?

Nearly 80 percent of customers are satisfied with their decision to obtain this device and would still purchase it if they had the decision to make over again. Nearly 90 percent said they would recommend that their friends who stutter consider the device as a treatment option. People who use SpeechEasy® also report a heightened sense of confidence, freedom, and self-reliance, as well as an improvement in social and professional relationships.

What is the first step in evaluating if the SpeechEasy® is right for me?

Call us at (916) 797-3307 to schedule a free, no-obligation phone consultation with Nancy Barcal to discuss your individual needs. If you determine a SpeechEasy® evaluation is right for you, a three- to four-hour appointment will be scheduled.

Is it possible to receive a SpeechEasy® device in one day?

Because Nancy is a Preferred SpeechEasy® Provider, she has Comfort Fit devices available the same day you receive your evaluation. Comfort Fit devices wrap around the back of the ear, similar to hands-free earpieces.

If you prefer a device that fits inside the ear, an ear impression will be made in our office and sent off to the lab. Your custom-made device will arrive in approximately three weeks.
