Hi, I was wondering if wearing the device affects your speech at all? Also, does it change the contour of your face at all, like can anyone tell that there is something in your mouth? Does it bother you when you are eating? Thanks for your help. I am really looking forward to when it becomes available in my area.

Hi RAB,
In my case, the SoundBite does not affect my speech at all. It doesn't change the contour of my face either. It's pretty much invisible. Nobocy can notice that I am wearing the device in my mouth unless I intentionally open my mouth to show it.
During the first week of wearing my SoundBite, it was a bit uncomfortable for me to eat wearing the ITM (In The Mouth) device, but then, I got accustomed, and now I am able to enjoy my meals without discomfort.
You can find a lot of information about the SoundBite, in the topic GOOD NEWS...NEW INVENTION FOR SSD... Sounds good for us!!!! Here is the link http://www.anausa.org/smf/index.php?topic=10753.120
All best,
Gloria

I have had basically the same experience. Initial discomfort when chewing on that side but no longer. You can see a picture on the website as Gloria shared.
I love mine.
