Vocal tactile feedback apparatus. |
摘要 |
<p>A vocal tactile feedback apparatus and method for use in the treatment of stuttering and other speech or hearing abnormalities are disclosed. A microphone (10) and amplifier (20) are utilised to produce and amplify an electronic signal responsive to vocal utterances spoken within a known range of the microphone (10). The amplified signal is then delayed by a suitable delaying circuit for a desired time interval and is then transmitted to an electro-mechanical transducer (30) attached to the outer surface of the laryngeal or glottis region of the neck of a user. The transducer (30) then transforms the amplified delayed signal into a mechanical vibration to provide delayed vibrotactile feedback of the vocal utterances whether spoken by the user or by others. A unique transducer assembly (30) for use in the apparatus and method is disclosed.</p> |
