I think this is a bad look. Unless you explain exactly what's going on they'll be wondering why you're wearing headphones to a formal interview and needing a "crutch" like airpods all the time isn't p...

DAF was first introduced by the device known as the: SPEECH EASY! I had one back in around ’01. It wasn’t cheap by any means, wanna say it was about $5k. But DAF does it layman’s terms “trick the brai...

I don’t know where you’re based. My answer is based on UK/US where the stammer is a protected characteristic. 1. You NEED to get in touch with your university’s disability service—they’ll back you u...
