This paper treats acoustic-tactile communication aids for the deaf. Children who obtain negligible help from conventional hearing aids are of particular interest. For the prelingually deaf child tactile aids may facilitate the acquisition of lipreading, and improve vocal production. Although attempts to use tactile aids for the deaf go back many years, only recently have developments in technology led to greatly improved processing possibilities and the feasibility of aids that can be worn. Here, we report case studies in which prelingually, profoundly deaf young children used wearable tactile aids.
本文探讨针对聋人的听觉 - 触觉交流辅助设备。特别值得关注的是那些从传统助听器中获益甚微的儿童。对于语前聋儿童而言，触觉辅助设备可能有助于唇读能力的习得，并改善发声。尽管为聋人使用触觉辅助设备的尝试可以追溯到很多年前，但直到最近，技术的发展才使得处理能力得到极大提升，可穿戴辅助设备也具备了可行性。在此，我们报告了一些案例研究，其中语前重度聋幼儿使用了可穿戴触觉辅助设备。
