The Oral & Nasal Listener is a unique tool that provides direct high-quality auditory feedback for the client (child or adult) during speech therapy. 

developed at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and is the only device of its kind that provides both the client and the speech-language pathologist (or parent) simultaneous amplification of speech nasality.

The Oral & Nasal Listener is also very effective when working on the elimination of nasal emission or hypernasality due to abnormal articulation or velopharyngeal mislearning. Unlike other devices for detecting nasality, the Listener amplifies all nasal sounds, thus allowing the child to HEAR the differences between nasal and oral productions.

A simple funnel attachment amplifies speech, making it perfect for targeting articulation skills and improving phonological awareness. The Clip-on Photo Cues offer a fun way to reinforce correct sound productions. The soft foam ear tips on the stethoscopes make them comfortable for the client and the SLP to wear.

What makes The Oral & Nasal Listener™ so effective?

The Oral & Nasal Listener includes specific, unique features that make it different from other feedback devices:

• Amplifies oral speech sounds through a simple funnel attachment (Speech Funnel), making it perfect for working on articulation skills and improving phonological awareness.
  
• Allows the client to clearly hear hypernasality or nasal air emission through a tube, which is placed at the entrance of one nostril.
  
• Provides amplification of the client's speech for two people at the same time!
  
• Increases the client's attention and focus on auditory stimuli and auditory instructions.
  
• Uses clip-on photo cues to provide the client with cues for correct sound production.
  

Who is The Oral & Nasal Listener™ helpful for?

This amplifying tool can be used with clients of all grades and ages, ranging from children to adults. While most often used in speech therapy settings, The Oral & Nasal Listener™ is loved by Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs). It is also helpful for special educators working with children in the classroom or parents helping their children with oral-motor function and auditory processing at home. 

Why Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs), special educators, and clinicians love this auditory feedback tool:

• It works great! The children really like it and it is helpful for the cycles approach and for giving resonance feedback to students. 
• It is packaged in a very nice bag that allows for a professional image and organization.
• It helps create awareness of speech in all speech students, not just with students who have resonance issues.
• Nasal emission and nasality are crystal clear, which helps guide therapy.
