Hi Antoinette,

At the ALS Clinical conference I spoke of this and showed a quick video in action. I referenced that I had learned of the BEM Bluetooth wrist speaker during a visit to the Duke ALS clinic and have been using it since. I have also explored OTHER wrist worn Bluetooth speakers so I may offer more options during a feature match and evidence based trial assessment to our patients. I have not been as satisfied with the performance of others – despite their aesthetics being better. I HAVE had the problem you describe with CAMTOA Wireless Bluetooth Wrist Speaker. SO, to date I continue to use and stand by the BEM and offer it to our patients for trial.

Subject: Wrist Worn Bluetooth Speaker

Hello All,

At the ALS Clinical conference, someone mentioned using a wrist worn bluetooth speaker. I have purchase one for a client, but, there is a delay and you cannot hear the first couple words.

Anyone else have this problem? Do you have a suggestion?

Sincerely,
