  • Title: Initial findings with a wearable multichannel vibrotactile aid.
    Author: Osberger MJ, Robbins AM, Todd SL, Brown CJ.
    Journal: Am J Otol; 1991; 12 Suppl():179-82. PubMed ID: 2069179.
    Abstract:
    Data are presented on the speech perception performance of two profoundly hearing-impaired subjects while using a two-channel vibrotactile aid (Tactaid II) or a new, seven-channel instrument. Both subjects, one a profoundly hearing-impaired teenager and one a postlingually deaf adult, are experienced users of tactile aids. The data suggest better recognition of speech features, words, environmental sounds, and enhancement of lipreading skills with the new multichannel instrument than with the two-channel device.
