Stop the Stuttering

Speech language pathologists have known for years that people who stutter tend to speak better when talking in unison with another person. Audiologists have now developed a device to counter stutter through altered auditory feedback. Called Speech Easy, the device is worn in the ear and it plays back a person's speech in a different pitch and after a slight delay. Speech Easy helps in more than 80 percent of the cases, yet researchers are still unsure why it works.
