Yeah, that's the same thing. It delays your speech so that you can hear yourself. The whole idea behind it is that when you're talking in unison with someone, you don't stutter, or at least that much....

It's physiologically impossible to "speak" on the inhale. Your larynx will make sound, but it will be creaky and will not sound normal. The slight exhale before beginning phonation is a common strat...

About that speech easy....is that supposed to make u stop stuttering? I saw this thing on tv a long time ago that goes in your ear like a hearing aid, and they claimed it drastically reduced stutterin...

That depends on how you're defining "stuttering." There is "evidence of stuttering" in handwriting, playing a musical instrument and sign language, however these are generally a delay in initiation (e...

Nevermind, my advisor just got back to me and basically said dont do it, you wont be able to get around the ethical situation of using alcohol. So ive got 2 days to come up with a different proposal. ...

It is, right? She actually emailed me a hand-drawn graph that illustrates that. I could post it, but it will have to wait until night (9am here), and I'll have to remember to submit it here (which is,...

Uhhh it's hard. The good thing is that at work I have to answer phones most days so I get some practice. I have to make calls, too. THAT'S the worst. Hearing the brrrringgg brrrrrrrnngggg brrrrrr...

So in response to your #2 -- I don't get it. We already know that stuttering severity is influenced by "social anxiety" -- are you looking for subgroups of people who stutter that are more and less ...

My speech definitely gets worse when im entering an uncertain period in my life or some new event im not completely confident about. Breathing has always been very difficult for me because subconsciou...

It's awesome hearing everyone's stories. I'm glad you're all able to share. Intaminfanatic, I'm sorry for everything you've been through, but congrats on graduating college! I often feel like people ...

Now THAT is interesting. Sounds like it would take some practice. I wonder if I talk on the inhale. Hmmmm....

Hey archie, I'm a third year college student doing computer science, I know how you feel about your speech holding you back. I have so much I want to say and do, I feel like I am missing out on the co...

I'm a lifetime stutterer. I'm also an alcoholic of sorts (I drink 2-5 alcoholic beverages a day). Drinking will make me stutter less in social situations. There is no doubt about it. Social anxiety ma...

Sometimes I stutter worse when I plan out what i'm going to say. Especially at restaurants. ...

My stutter always goes away and comes back again. It really is a mistery. Personally I don't think it has anything to do with breathing and I really hate when people tell me to "stop and take a breath...

Seems like my story has a lot of similarities to many of yours. I've stuttered since I started speaking and was in speech therapy for 12 years (Grades 1-12). In the 12th grade, my (very low income) ...

Learning to breathe (Switchfoot, anyone?) is key on getting better. A speech therapist I knew told me that, ideally, we should take deep breaths and start speaking only after we start exhaling, not at...

Stress from changing life conditions can definitely bring back or worsen your stutter. I was made fun of in high school and stuttered worsened to the point where I wouldn't speak anymore. In college, ...

I had a stutter when I was about 7, it only lasted a few weeks though. It came back when I was 15/16. I'm 18 now and it hasn't gone anywhere. It might be a shortness of breath thing. I stopped playing...

I'm going to school at IPFW in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Swish, thanks for the story. Nice to meet you. It's nice to hear other people's stories and how they got, or are getting through it. I went to spee...
