Have you tried glottal stop utterances? Methodical, repetitive, calculated, deliberate glottal stop utterances for one hour – two hours a day for a week? For four weeks? Would you give it a good, honest go? Did you give it a good, honest go?
I do not proclaim to know something other than surgery can help, but I wonder if there is any overlap between my life’s work and aiding such an ailment in its alleviation.
I suspect there is a level of therapeutic effect in such a routine, and if it doesn’t do more for the affected, we may know in time. Please temper your expectations. I am nothing but hopeful.
