Amplifiers help people hear what you are saying. They usually have two parts: a microphone and a speaker. These may be handheld or wearable devices. A voice amplifier can be helpful if your disability makes it hard to project your voice loudly. This device might reduce fatigue and strain on your vocal cords.
