Have any of you had to deal with this condition? Bell's Palsy is when half of your face stops working due to nerve damage. I've had BP for 7 months now. I have really improved, but still lack that strong whistle due to the fact that my mouth doesn't seal tightly around my Fox 40.

If you have experienced this or know of someone who has, I am looking for any advice on getting my whistle back.

Thanks in advance.

I have a bad habit of chewing on my fox-40 while I"m working and it tends to wear down the little plastic lip on the tip of the whistle.So at times when I go to blow my whistle it will pop out before any sound comes out.
Needless to say this can be problem when you get a real late whistle.Anyway I"m going to try the fox-40 that has a clear plastic tip added to the whistle and its only a buck or two more.Give it a try it might work for you.
good-luck
