  
WhisperPhone® is an acoustical voice-feedback headset that enables learners of all ages to focus and hear the sounds that make up words (phonemes) more clearly as they learn to read, spell or process language aloud. WhisperPhone® is fun & easy to use - and research has proven that users can hear phonemes ten times more clearly when they are wearing the WhisperPhone®! That means they can hear themselves better over background noise and they can focus better on what they are learning. WhisperPhone® works simply & effectively. Users can choose right or left ear setting, place the WhisperPhone® on their head, and go! When they speak, their voice is conveyed directly into their ear so they can hear their voice more clearly. This creates an improved signal-to-noise ratio, which means the user can hear their voice better over background noise. This improved signal-to-noise ratio provides a clarified signal of intelligible speech thereby raising phonemic awareness and optimizing the process of learning to read or process language. Small WhisperPhone® is designed for grade 5 through adult. This deluxe set comes complete with a small WhisperPhone® headset, deluxe storage pouch and the book, The Sound of Learning - Why Self-Amplification Matters by Dr. Timothy Rasinski, Dr. Carol Flexer & Theresha Boomgarden-Szypulski, CCC-SLP. The book teaches about the science and rationale behind self-amplification and how it can boost the learning-to-read process. Includes practical applications of the self-amplification tool. Authored by a literacy expert, an audiologist and a speech language professional, this book offers compelling analysis, fun exercises and other resources for parents/teachers to utilize as their little ones learn to read. (Please note: Book is published in Canada.)
