Is there a cure for stuttering?
612029
You should consult a speech-language pathologist in your area. He/she can perform an evaluation to determine the type and severity of your stuttering. If you agree to treatment, there are many types of treatment. No one treatment is right for everyone.

The way that works 100% of the time for me is:\nTake in all the air you can into your lungs and hold it while taking a small glass of water and drinking it with the smallest gulps you can. Do this until you can't hold your breath any longer. Works first try for me. The constant swallowing action distracts your esophagus and diaphragm long enough to make it forget about the hiccups.

As of now, there is not a cure for Tourettes.  However, there has been a recent genetic breakthrough at Harvard.  Here is the link:\nhttp://www.tsa-usa.org/\n"Genetic\nBreakthrough\nYields\nClue\nto\nTourette\nSyndrome"\n\nand click on the press release link and/or the actual study in the scientific journal.  I hope that this answers your question.

this has worked for me and my kids for 15 years now EVERY TIME...\n\nYou have someone plug your ears while you guzzle water. Keep swallowing for about 5 good chugs. If you are alone, you can plug your own ears and drink thru a straw. \nTrust me, once you try this you will never need another cure.

Yeah, stammering is definitely not professional, and will make people think you're unprepared even if you know you're ready. So, because its obviously caused by nerves, take a very deep breath. If you're still stuttering, pinch yourself lightly on the arm. This helps me because it focuses my attention on one thing and helps me feel more alert.

Hello there,\nI am sorry to say but there is no cure for Tinnitus. But there are some methods which can help the condition. However, it does depend on the type of Tinnitus that you have. \n\nType 1: it comes and goes\nType 2: mostly they only have Tinnitus in one ear. It makes the sound of wave or the sound of water fall. \n\nType 3: In both or one ear. The sound is generally the noise of a colour bar on a TV late at night. \n\nSome people have Tinnitus for different reasons. Some due to work and noise pollution. Some people even get it from psychological. If you were bullied as a child, adult etc u might think it won't affect you as much. But your corresponds to bullying can be to block the silly people voices out and then your brain creates Tinnitus so you can't listen so intensely.  It is a form of protective method your body creates. So, you need to find out why you have it. \n\nThere has been reported that people with Tinnitus:\n*Take herbal tablets.\n*Try to block it mentally out.\n*New technology shows that an ear piece machine can re-train your brain to ignore the sounds. But you'll have to keep training yourself to maintain the "cure". \n\n*Acupuncture - \n*Cranial Osteopathy - could be that your jaws are too tight.\n\nYou could even have allergies in the middle ear or a under pressure in the ear. Check this with an ear specialist. \n\nPeople with Tinnitus can experience:\n*sound to vary in volume.\n*sounds to vary in sound.\n*balance problems - find out which part of the head your Tinnitus lies.\n\nWhen people with Tinnitus are:\n*tired\n*angry\n*hungry\n*wet/cold- don't walk around with wet hair.\n* Colds/versus etc.\n\nHope this helps. Please, give me a little feed-back note on how it went?\n\nYours Sincerely,\nJr.

A friend of mine back in college had this problem.  He took some vocal lessons.  One of the things they told him, is whenever he is driving in the car, or anything like that to read every sign he passes out loud.  There are always tons of billboards, and various signs along the roads.  By reading everything out loud, you become more comfortable with your rate of speach.  It may sound strange, but it actually works!  I would hope you would give it a try.  I wish you all the best of luck in overcoming your stammering.

This is the only real way to instantly cure the hiccups! Look no further! The Hughes/Green method cure's the hiccups EVERY time GUARANTEED! You will be amazed! Hundreds of instantly cured hiccuper's have sent in their testimony's of deliverance! Files are available for researchers! Carefully understand both the HOW and the WHY of this method. If you don't get the WHY you might not get the HOW. Here's how to cure the hiccups:\n\n"Hughes/Green Hiccups Cure"© 1997\n\n(1) Pour a TALL glass of water.\n\n(2) Hold your breath... ***\n\n(3) IMPORTANT...PINCH YOUR NOSE CLOSED.\n\n(4) Slowly, take 10 - 20 swallows of the water...while holding your breath with your nose pinched closed.\n\n(5) When you can't stand it any more....you'll know by that overwhelming drowning sensation -- after a gasp, take a deep breath and relax.\n\nThis cures the hiccups 99 percent of the time - guaranteed! It's a proven medical remedy! (A second treatment could be necessary for stubborn cases.)\n\n*** For stubborn cases, try EXHALING COMPLETELY and then taking 10 - 20 swallows.\n\nNOW: HERE'S WHY IT WORKS: Hiccups are caused by an uncontrollable spasm in the diaphragm, (the "breathing" muscle). Often, this spasm is triggered by irritable conditions in the smooth muscles of the stomach or the esophagus. The "Hughes/Green Hiccups Cure" forces an increase in the carbon dioxide levels in the diaphragm itself, as well as in the stomach and esophagus. By swallowing, you are making the muscles work -- so they use up their available oxygen and replace it with carbon dioxide. By temporarily discontinuing to breath, you prohibit new oxygen from entering your body and thus create an anaerobic condition in the spasming diaphragm muscle. When the spasming diaphragm and stomach are deprived temporarily of oxygen and encounter the higher levels of carbon dioxide ... you feel that scary drowning sensation! BUT this causes the spasming muscles to relax! The hiccups go away! Essentially, you are "tricking" your body into thinking that it's drowning ... and it decides to use it's resources for something other than hiccuping. The rather "scary" drowning sensation caused by this method is NECESSARY for the method to work. If it's not just a little bit difficult ... it doesn't work.

Hiccups usually go away all on their own. There might be as many "cures" for hiccups as there are families. Some popular home remedies include: \n\nTake a deep breath and hold it as long as you can. Repeat several times. \n\nTry rhythmic breathing or deep breathing. \n\nBreathe into a paper bag. \n\nHold your breath just as you think a hiccup will occur. \n\nGargle. \n\nTense your throat muscles and/or stomach muscles as you feel a hiccup coming on. \n\nPress hard against the cartilage behind your ear. \n\nPlug your ears while swallowing. \n\nDrink through a cloth or paper towel. \n\nBend over and drink from the opposite side of the glass. \n\nSwallow dry bread, peanut butter, or similarly sticky substance. \n\nSwallow a teaspoon of sugar. \n\nDissolve a teaspoon of sugar on your tongue. \n\nEat a lemon sprinkled with sugar. \n\nHave someone scare you. \n\nGive someone else a drink of water. \n\nIf you're still hiccupping after two days, contact your health care provider. Chronic hiccups can cause weight loss, insomnia, malnutrition, vomiting, and more. If you're bothered by long-lasting hiccups - and they aren't caused by a serious health problem - your physician can try chlorpromazine to stop them. It doesn't work every time, though.

Get some peanut butter and put it on the roof of your mouth. It works! One of my teacher's had a jar of it in the cupboard always handy for anyone who had hiccups.

Do others say or imply that you have such a condition? If so, try and see a specialist; a speech pathologist. I'm confident that with therapy you can overcome the impediment. Many famous well recognized people (public speakers) have overcome the condition.

If you go outside and find a small smooth pebble.  Then you place that pebble underneath a log, your hiccups will be cured.

I don't know if there is an exact solution.  But, there are some things that can help.  What I found works for me is drinking warm chamomile tea before bed and putting soothing music on when it's time to sleep.  Nothing with words or singing, just soft instrumentals.

I know it sounds nuts, but that hiccup trick works for me; where you get a tall cup of water, sit it on the table, and drink from the opposite side of the glass. It may have something to do with the way your air passages are as you drink\n\n\nAlso for hiccups, try a spoonful of peanut butter\n\n\nThe only real hiccup cure is one that treats the hiccups for what they really are. Hiccups are caused by the diaphragm spasming. Taking in as much air as possible, makes the lungs expand and push down on the diaphragm. This stretches the diaphragm out to it original position and shape. Hold the breath as long as possible, just don't pass out, and let it out. Voila', no more hiccups. It works every time. \n\nIf all of the above dont work.. just watch a horror movie or let something scare U.

There are logopaedists (speech pathologists) who specialize in accent reduction. Call your local clinic or hospital for a referral.

This is to expand on another person's answer, which was correct but missing some important steps or explanation.  This cure is a bonafide medical and scientific cure.  The get rid of hiccups, you must deprive oxygen from the muscle that is causing hiccups. No oxygen to that muscle, it can't burn energy, no energy, no hiccups.\n\nSo what needs to be done is to simulate DROWNING.  We must trick the body to think it is drowning.  This will cause it to divert oxygen from unimportant parts of the body, like that muscle causing hiccups, to more important parts like the heart, the brain, the organs, etc.  \n\nSo...take a glass of water, slowly exhale.  Pinch your nose.  Take about 5 or 6 sips of water (or more until you can't take it any longer) from the glass...making sure you are taking in WATER ONLY. Do NOT sip any air along with the water.  Stop.  \n\nHold your breath for a few seconds, and inhale slowly. The hiccups should disappear. If not repeat.  \n\nI have found this works 90% of the time.  It only fails to work if there really is something stuck in your throat that really needs to be expelled by hiccups or coughing, or drinking lots of water.
