I saw a headset with plastic cups on it on the internet. the choir directors spoke highly of it. it is not expensive but a bit bulky. I thought it maybe good for practice at home. just wondered if anyone has used this or has other suggestions to hear myslef as i speak. thanks, gol (Link removed per Bulletin Board Rules) Modified by Moderator-WB at Sat, May 20, 2006, 15:25:06

When using them they give you the impression that you are speaking louder than you actualy are, so you learn to vocalize quietly but correctly.But I dont know if they would benefit anyone with SD or other speech problems.As I said they have helped my singing but I dont think they have made any difference to my speaking patterns.

Right after I sing I seem to otice that I speak with more fluency and come up into my mask area. ........ then gradually my voice seems to fall into my chest area and get more throaty. So I though it might be helful. I appreciate you taking time to respond. | Recommend | Alert Where am I? Original message Top of thread Current page Re: has any one used "hearfones"?

She made an ear plug for my right ear. This did help me some - it helped me to hear myself and to try and modulate my breathing as it relates to my speaking, better. For someone with very mild AD/SD, it might provide some help. John | Recommend | Alert Where am I? Original message Top of thread Current page
