As someone who has their vocal chords but damaged hearing, this is very helpful to watch. Their have been times in my life where I have met people post surgery and had trouble understanding them at times. There were moments watching this video where I realized I was listening more intently because I was still having trouble, particularly the gentleman with long hair. The first tip is the best - accept difference - after that all the rest come easily. :)

I've been a lary for over 7 years and this is one of the best clips I have seen. Well done to all concerned.

Good job! The three major speech methods were very well done. The people looked happy and sounded wonderfully adjusted. I wish I could meet you all. I've been a lary for almost 17 years and have worked hard for rehabilitation and we will be referring members to YouTube to see this. I live near the SE COAST but not the same one! I'm in the USA and will hope to meet you online! Pat
