My parents bought me one when I was in high school - 12ish years ago. It was a lot of money for them and insurance refused to help pay for it, so it was all out of pocket. **Not worth it.** At all. (Don't tell them that, I still feel bad about it.) Now, maybe the technology has improved since then, but in my experience, the efficacy wore off really quickly. It worked great in the test room with the salesperson, not so much in real life. And that's not just anecdotal to my own experience - studies have shown the same: [https://www.stutteringhelp.org/recent-study-reports-speecheasy-use-within-extra-clinical-environments](https://www.stutteringhelp.org/recent-study-reports-speecheasy-use-within-extra-clinical-environments) >*The SpeechEasy was generally effective in reducing stuttering when immediately fit, but significant reductions in stuttering were not consistently maintained across four months of treatment.* And it was impossible to wear around all the time because the background noises that were also amplified and modulated drove me nuts. In a quiet room where I'm the only one talking? Not so bad. Literally anywhere else? Unusable.
