297 – The Tongueometer: We’ve got updates!

Why rely on tongue depressors when you can give your patients a portable workout device that comes with an app to track their tongue strength, endurance, and exercise results? 

That device exists! And it’s improved…

Elizabeth Daly and Ed Steger are back on the Swallow Your Pride Podcast with exciting updates on the Tongueometer - a handheld lingual manometer that measures tongue and lip strength and endurance. From Android and iOS compatibility to bluetooth connections to two new research studies using the Tongueometer, this is a dysphagia therapy device all med SLPs should be aware of.
