Abstract

See full text

Methods and devices (620, 1220, 1410) to deliver a tactile speech analog to a person's skin (404, 604, 1082, 1440) providing a silent, invisible, hands-free, eyes-free, and ears-free way to receive and directly comprehend electronic communications (1600b). Embodiments include an alternative to hearing aids that will enable people with hearing loss to better understand speech. A device (1410), worn like watch or bracelet, supplements a person's remaining hearing to help identify and disambiguate those sounds he or she can not hear properly. Embodiments for hearing aids (620) and hearing prosthetics (1220) are also described.
