In AE, we commonly split the syllables between /z/ and /h/ in /Alzheimer's/. The /a/ is like the /a/ in /balls/,which rhymes with the first syllable: Alz-heimer's B

What is not consistent is the “a” in the first syllable which may be transcribed as /Z/ (as in “or”), /F/ (as in “hat”) or /]+/ (as in all). The "h" is in the second syllable. A
