Normal-hearing young adults (N: 30) discriminated CVs and vowels vibrotactually presented by a vibrator of the hearing-aid type. Features of voicing, place and manner could be discriminated above chance levels when contrasted with the same phoneme class. Discrimination of vowels, however, was at chance level. Although a brief (10-hr) training curriculum did not significantly increase vibrotactile discrimination of either CVs or vowels, such a vibrator could be used to supplement the acquisition of articulation in the severely and profoundly hearing-impaired person.
听力正常的年轻成年人（N = 30）通过助听器类型的振动器以触觉方式辨别辅音-元音组合（CVs）和元音。与同一音素类别相比，浊音、发音部位和发音方式的特征能够在高于随机水平上被辨别出来。然而，元音的辨别处于随机水平。尽管一个简短的（10小时）培训课程并没有显著提高对CVs或元音的触觉辨别能力，但这种振动器可用于辅助重度和极重度听力受损者的发音习得。
