No, they change the way you hear yourself. Sometimes the way you hear yourself can cause you to stutter more. There are different types. Some of them make it so you hear yourself at a delay, some change your pitch, and some produce sine waves at the frequency your vocal cords vibrate. It’s hard to explain, but they can reduce stuttering by up to 80%!

What? I d-don’t have a problem with the w-way my v-voice sounds. M-my st-stuttering st-started in F-fifth grade b-because I had a s-stupid b-bitch for a teacher who subjected me to unfair religious verbal beat-downs in class.
