Stuttering during phone calls is common, especially for people who stutter (PWS), because the lack of visual cues and the pressure to respond quickly can increase anxiety. For a 24-year-old man experiencing stuttering mainly while talking on the phone, here are some management strategies that can help:
1. Speech Therapy
Working with a speech-language pathologist (SLP) can help improve fluency through techniques like:
Fluency shaping (e.g., slow, controlled speech)
Stuttering modification (e.g., easing into words instead of blocking)
Desensitization (reducing anxiety around phone calls)
2. Practice with Simulated Calls
Use voice recorders or apps to practice phone conversations.
Gradually build confidence by:
Talking to friends/family on the phone
Ordering food or making inquiries by phone
3. Reduce Phone Anxiety
Prepare scripts for common conversations
Practice breathing exercises before calling
Focus on relaxation techniques (mindfulness, deep breathing)
4. Use Technology
Voice-to-text apps or texting when appropriate
Apps designed for PWS (like DAF – Delayed Auditory Feedback)
5. Self-Acceptance and Support
Join support groups (like the National Stuttering Association) or online forums
Accept that stuttering doesn’t define your worth or intelligence
Would you like suggestions for specific exercises or tools to try at home?
Here are some specific at-home exercises and tools that can help manage stuttering, especially for phone conversations:
---
1. Breathing and Relaxation Exercises
Goal: Reduce tension and promote smooth speech.
Diaphragmatic Breathing:
Sit or lie down comfortably.
Breathe in slowly through your nose, feeling your stomach rise.
Exhale slowly through your mouth.
Practice for 5–10 minutes daily, especially before phone calls.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation:
Tense and then relax each muscle group, starting from your toes to your face.
Reduces physical stress that can make stuttering worse.
---
2. Slow and Easy Speech Practice
Goal: Build control and reduce pressure to speak quickly.
Read aloud slowly for 10–15 minutes a day.
Use exaggerated pauses and soft onsets (e.g., saying “Hhhhhello” gently instead of “HELLO!”).
Practice with children’s books, news articles, or scripts.
---
3. Phone Call Simulations
Goal: Desensitize and build confidence using the phone.
Record yourself practicing a phone script (e.g., “Hi, I’m calling to ask about your hours.”)
Play it back and reflect: Did you feel tense? Were there words you stuttered on?
Gradually make real calls—start with low-pressure ones like calling a weather line, pharmacy, or voicemail.
---
4. Mirror Talk
Goal: Practice self-monitoring and confidence.
Stand in front of a mirror and speak about your day or a topic for 2–3 minutes.
Watch your facial expressions, body language, and fluency.
Try to maintain eye contact with yourself and speak slowly.
---
5. Use Apps and Tools
Here are some helpful tools designed for people who stutter:
DAF Apps (Delayed Auditory Feedback): Helps slow speech rate and improve fluency.
Example: DAF Pro, Speech4Good
The McGuire Technique (Online Resources): Focuses on breathing and speech control.
Speech Tools App: Track progress, record practice, get coaching tips.
FluencyCoach or Stamurai: Structured programs with guided exercises.
