To talk or not.

dont lose the ability to make sound

Unfortunately MND takes that choice away from the majority of us, we don't give up our voices willingly 😥😥

Ditto - I use the online Chat facility. It's usually much quicker than the phone anyway and you can take a shot of the conversation.

Matthew,

If I can’t contact a business by email or online then I switch, be it utilities or orders online. Many businesses have a “speech assistance” function which I use. My family only contact me by video link.

Good luck with finding a method that works for you.

Barry

I'd really like some advice. My voice is so bad now that conversations particularly on the phone are just not working. Should I just give up trying and become mute a little early? What did you guys do? x
