Abstract:
The effect on stuttering frequency of speaking into a passive resonator was investigated. Eight participants who stuttered read aloud with and without the benefit of the resonator. A statistically significant reduction of approximately 30% in stuttering frequency was observed while the participants spoke with the resonator. These and similar commercially available devices may be employed with individuals who stutter, particularly children, as a means of enhancing fluency.
