Ordering Process
Can I order a Speech Enhancer system from the manufacturer, or do I order it through my physician or insurance company?
Although the Speech Enhancer is not invasive, it is not available directly to individuals by mail order. Evaluations and field trials are available by independent Certified Evaluators. Once it is determined you are eligible for the instrument, call a Voicewave funding coach for assistance with funding. Email us at service@SpeechEnhancer.com or call Voicewave Customer Service at 1 (877) 786-2266.
How can I see or be evaluated for the Speech Enhancer?
Call Voicewave Technology Inc. 1 (877) 786-2266 for location of the Certified Evaluator nearest you to schedule a professional speech evaluation/field trial. The trained speech language pathologist will determine your eligibility for this device and assist with funding information. Voicewave Technology Inc. also offers educational seminars where people can learn more about the device. On-site training is also offered at a minimal cost to organizations.
Is there a rental or lease program for the Speech Enhancer?
The Certified Evaluator program provides a professional, functional evaluation and field trial during which it is determined if you are a candidate for the instrument. Funding sources have been pleased with the thoroughness of these independent evaluation/field trials. Voicewave Technology Inc. therefore does not offer a rental program or trial purchase. The purchaser is solely responsible for determining the fitness of the product for their purposes, and all sales are final.
The evaluation/field trial is an exhaustive review of your physical and lifestyle needs, in addition to your current speech/voice capabilities and all potential for change. There may also be other professionals involved in your evaluation/field trial, such as occupational therapists, physical therapist, assistive technology specialists or rehabilitation engineers, to help determine your specific needs.

Certified Evaluators
A Certified Evaluator is a professional speech language pathologist who has been trained to conduct evaluations, has access to the equipment and microphones, and will provide a complete speech evaluation/field trial. Evaluation costs vary, and are set by the Certified Evaluator.
For more information
about the Certified Evaluator Program email us at service@SpeechEnhancer.com or
call Voicewave Customer Service :
1 (877) 786-2266 .
The Certified Evaluator will recommend the appropriate course of action for you. It may be the Speech Enhancer, another DME device, therapy - or perhaps nothing at all. These speech language pathologists are independent evaluators, not employees of Voicewave, and are ethically bound to see that you receive the most appropriate solution.

Voicewave dealers are trained in the use of the Speech Enhancer and work hand-in-hand with the Certified Evaluator to provide service to customers.

Availability of Third Party Funding
Is there third party funding for the Speech Enhancer?
Yes. Third-party funding of the Speech Enhancer is available for eligible candidates based on the efficacy of the product and the assistance it provides toward personal independence. Independence translates into lower care costs, new or better jobs, and more independent living -- all of which help funding agencies’ shrinking budgets.
Another important reason for third party funding availability is the Speech Enhancer’s amazing practicality. It can be used in virtually any environment -- regardless of how noisy. It uses a person’s own voice as input, and it therefore requires no programming or keystrokes.
Insurance and Medicaid sources provide funding based on medical necessity.
Where can I get assistance with the third party funding?
Ask the Certified Evaluator
or dealer, or call Voicewave for specific instructions for each of the
following: private insurance, schools, Medicaid, Medicare and charitable
groups. For additional information email us at service@SpeechEnhancer.com or
