ABSTRACT:
An anti-stuttering device and method for enhancing the fluency of speech in stutterers. The device consists of a microphone for detecting an individual speaker's tissue conducted vocal pulses ("voice") at the junction of the mandible and skull for transmission to the ear canal of the speaker where they are reproduced as audio signals. A predetermined delay, imperceptible to the speaker, is introduced into these non-tissue conducted voice related audio signals applied to the ear canal to thereby achieve a unique temporal relationship with respect to the arrival at the speaker's ear canal of tissue conducted audio signals related to that individual speaker's vocal pulses.
