<p>The invention relates to a device for treating and reducing stuttering by means of auditory feedback. The device comprises a bone conducting hearing aid apparatus (1,5,6) arranged to be attached to the skull bone (3) of a user with a stuttering problem so that his ear canal is left free. The apparatus comprises a tactile component in the form of a vibrator (1) from which the sound information is mechanically transmitted to the inner ears of the user via the skull bone (3) so that both cochleas are stimulated. The cochlea on the opposite side of the skull receives a signal which is further delayed and also has another frequency characteristics compared to the digital received by the nearest cochlea.</p> |
