Development of Software to Provide the SpeechVive Device Via the Internet

The SpeechVive is a wearable device that plays multi-talker babble noise in one ear while the person wearing it is talking. The noise is voice-activated (only present when the person speaks). The noise does not interfere with the ability to hear communication partners. The noise coming from the device functions as a natural external cue for people with Parkinson's disease to talk more loudly and clearly. Treatment will involve asking the participants to wear the device daily during the treatment period.

Participants will interact with the speech-language pathologist using the telemedicine platform from their home.

Participants will interact with the speech-language pathologist in-person at the speech pathologist's office
