Yes totally and i never stutter while doing it which is great lmao...

Stuttering is rarely an airflow problem. Airflow does get restricted, but it’s bc of a mild panic response, valsalva maneuver or similar. I do strongly suggest you inform your nurse of your dysfluen...

Yeah, I definitely don't recommend stimulants either, unless you're prescribed (e.i Adderall etc) imagine having a stutter and being ADHD. Though I'm sure at least a few people have it like that. I fe...

Is this a common issue or just me ?

Is this a common issue or just me ? I have tinnitus and sometimes my ears will just pop and they aren't necessarily less or more sensitive but everything will sound weird out of that ear and it's very...

The hardest thing for a stutterer is to not think of your speech impediment in that kind of situations. But I don't struggle that much myself in interviews anymore because I think more on my appearanc...
