Brian Jeansonne talks to the world about his journey with ALS through TikTok videos, which the 46-year-old makes with his family and caregivers.
He began recording them when he was still able to speak on his own.
“I’m married for almost 18 years, have five kids,” Jeansonne said in one such video.
“But nothing that has been taken away makes me as sad as losing my ability to speak,” he said in another.
However, with the help of artificial intelligence, Jeansonne has been able to keep his ability to speak through a process called voice preservation.
“Imagine having no way to communicate your wants or needs or your love,” Jeansonne told CBS News. “Voice preservation gives that back to us. This, in many ways, saved my life.”
