Tactile aids can offer a particularly cost-effective answer to the
increasing demand for technical aids for the profoundly and totally
deaf. This book covers the design of tactile aids - single and
multichannel - and the ways in which they may benefit the hearing
impaired.
Authors from Australia, Canada, the UK and the USA have
contributed chapters, and among the topics they cover are:
fundamentals of vibrotactile and electrotactile perception; signal
processing strategies; tactile coding (including synthetic Tadoma);
choice of subjects and subject training; evaluation of tactile aids
and comparison with cochlear implants; and communication for the
deaf-blind.
The book should provide a useful reference for those who work
with the profoundly deaf, students and others with interests in the
perception of speech and environmental sound.
