Frequently Asked Questions

The FluencyPods™ are a modern, In-The-Ear Anti-Stuttering device designed to enhance speech fluency using Delayed Auditory Feedback technology. Their purpose is simple: to help users reduce stuttering and achieve a more controlled, natural speech flow.

The FluencyPods™ use one key software – Delayed Auditory Feedback (An echo of your voice repeated after a short delay). DAF can increase your speech fluency up to 70%.

Delayed Auditory Feedback (DAF) reduces stuttering by leveraging the Choral Speech Effect, where speaking in unison with others naturally enhances fluency. This is why stuttering often diminishes in situations like a group reading aloud together. Similarly, stuttering decreases while listening to music and even singing, as both activities introduce a structured rhythm and pace that aid in speech regulation. DAF simulates these effects by slightly delaying the speaker’s voice, encouraging slower, more deliberate speech patterns and reducing the interruptions typical of stuttering.

We have a 90% success rate. If you do fall into the 10% which it was not effective on, you can return the device and receive a full refund. Just let us know within two weeks of receiving it.
 
You can follow our Try Before You Buy guide. This will allow you to put the software encoded within the device to the test, prior to purchase. Keep in mind that the most significant improvements in fluency occur in real-life speaking scenarios rather than in the comfort of your home. Meaning, if you have a more mild stutter, trialling DAF in the comfort of your own home may not be worth it. You need to be trialling it in a speaking situation which you struggle with to see the difference!
 
That is why we offer the 14-day Free Trial! After you buy the device, you have two weeks from the day it arrives to test it’s effectiveness in real-life speaking scenarios. If it doesn’t meet your standards, simply return the device and get a full refund. 

No, the FluencyPods™ are not a cure for stuttering, nor do we claim they are. As there is no known cure for stuttering, the FluencyPods™ should be seen as a tool designed to help manage its symptoms. They enhance fluency in real-time, empowering users to communicate in challenging situations.

We recommend to use the device for speaking scenarios which you struggle with. This might be in social gatherings or public speaking for example. Keep in mind, what somebody considers to be high pressured is personal – so only you would know best!

The FluencyPods™ can be used either as an alternative to speech therapy or as a complementary tool alongside it. Some customers prefer to use it as a standalone solution, while others integrate it into their speech therapy sessions. The choice is yours. If you’d like to adopt both approaches, you can use the FluencyPods™ with your speech-language pathologist (SLP) or one of our trusted partners.

We recommend a minimum age of 8 years old for children to trial the device. By this age, most children who stutter have been experiencing symptoms for several years. If your child is between 8 and 9 years old and has a very mild stutter, we suggest waiting one to two years to see if it naturally resolves before considering the device.

The FluencyPods™ are currently only available in the USA.
No. Once you insert them you will notice an immediate increase in fluency. However, if you practise speech therapy techniques alongside a Speech & Language Pathologist, you may see even greater benefits. 

The FluencyPods™ are designed to provide long-lasting support for managing stuttering. However, if the device is used continuously in every speaking scenario, including those where you are already comfortable (such as at home), there is a possibility that, over a number of years, the effects may feel less pronounced compared to your initial experience.

To maximize the effectiveness of the FluencyPods™, we recommend using them as a targeted tool in situations where you feel challenged. For individuals with a more severe stutter, this may mean using the device in many speaking scenarios. For those with a mild stutter, it might only be needed in specific situations, such as social events, professional settings, or public speaking engagements.

By using the FluencyPods™ strategically, you can ensure they remain an effective and valuable tool for enhancing your fluency throughout your life. Doing so also promotes the carryover effect, allowing your speech to become more fluent even when you are not wearing the device.

No, the FluencyPods™ are fully autonomous and require no connection to an external device. Just insert the battery, put them in your ears and you are good to go!
