Many others seem to report this as well. <br /><br />I have come across other stories that report something similar. <br /><br />I had classes in high school that required reading aloud (foreign language classes, oral reports, etc) And I was in situations where I introduced myself to hundreds at a school assembly or in Rotary convention and other such student <br />activities. <br /><br />From my point of view, your level of suspicion is not founded.good.gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791953288929311619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-16025168865545709982011-03-06T03:58:09.193+01:002011-03-06T03:58:09.193+01:00I don't how much of this story I believe.
Yo...I don't how much of this story I believe. <br /><br />You have to understand I read and post at the stuttering forum and these kinds of stories, although not with this much detail, are there all the time so now I take these stories with a grain of salt. <br /><br />With respect to this story I sought of don't understand if the change in puberty occurred at the SAME TIME as the hearing operation. <br /><br />Anyway with respect to the puberty changes, he said " I was reading fluently in class and I introduced myself in front of roughly 300 people." I don't understand why a situation of where he introduced himself in front of 300 people would even occur I mean he is not a celebrity or a politician running for office, right? I don't think this happened and how often does a person as a teenager read in class, sure this happens in the much earlier grades, but at 12, 13 or 14, I don't think so. It would have been more believable that he gave SPEECHES IN CLASS and did not stutter, yeah, sure but he did not mention this, what a shame! <br /><br />As for the hearing operation, that sounds more possible because several people have mentioned that hearing your own voice is a causing factor for stuttering so this feels possible <br /><br />Of course on the other hand it could be that since he felt a change in his hearing and he could not hear where his voice came from then he could IMAGINE THAT HE WAS SOUGHT OF SOMEBODY ELSE FOR A WHILE AS STUTTERING ACTORS AND ACTRESSES DO.<br /><br />Interestinf story but the puberty angle does not make sense, if this was true WE WOULD HAVE HEARD OF THIS BEFORE NUMEROUS TIMES AS ALL STUTTERERS GO THRU PUBERTY.John Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13118216603738242940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-65518298694164564592011-02-21T21:01:04.918+01:002011-02-21T21:01:04.918+01:00I asked my mom if this is accurate and she said ye...I asked my mom if this is accurate and she said yes.
