Whisper Amplification Made simple

Nasal regulator
An Okayama University team has invented what looks like a simple noseplug. It amplifies whispers to make them more audible when you’re wearing the thing. This may seem like a trivial accomplishment, but many stroke victims lose their ability to speak normally when nerves in their soft palate are damaged.

What’s great about this is it’s so low end. Ease of use and availability of mass production makes or breaks many medical aids. This is great because of it’s simplicity of construction and simple implementation.
