Thank you so much for responding! If you don't mind, could you tell me what model you have? My therapist mentioned that she may be able to allow me to enter some sort of trial with the device, which may allow for a reduced cost. I'm not sure what that would entail, but I'm very interested! I'm an engineering student, so most of my problematic circumstances are in quiet lab-type areas in conversation with small groups of students. From what you describe, it seems like something that could very much benefit me! Thank you so much for your input!
