Four subjects fitted with single-channel vibrotactile aids and provided with training in their use took part in a testing programme aimed at assessing their aided and unaided lipreading performance, their ability to detect segmental and suprasegmental features of speech, and the discrimination of common environmental sounds. The results showed that the vibrotactile aid provided very useful information as to speech and non-speech stimuli with the subjects performing best on those tasks where time/intensity cues provided sufficient information to enable identification. The implications of the study are discussed and a comparison made with those results reported for subjects using cochlear implants.
四名佩戴单通道振动触觉辅助设备并接受了使用培训的受试者参与了一项测试计划，该计划旨在评估他们在有辅助和无辅助情况下的唇读表现、检测语音的音段和超音段特征的能力以及辨别常见环境声音的能力。结果表明，振动触觉辅助设备提供了关于语音和非语音刺激的非常有用的信息，受试者在那些时间/强度线索提供了足够信息以进行识别的任务中表现最佳。讨论了该研究的意义，并与那些使用人工耳蜗的受试者所报告的结果进行了比较。
