A new electronic device for the deaf and the hard-of-hearing is now commercially available. It is able to convert various types of sound — speech, music, environmental noise — into tactile sensations on the skin. As easy to wear as a watch and simple to operate, this new aid provides its users with a previously unattainable range of perceptions and helps them to deal with their surroundings much more successfully. It has been produced by Siemens in West Germany.
