    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Assistive Technology
    • Speech-Language Pathology

    Background:

    • Conventional hearing aids offer limited benefit for some deaf children.
    • Acoustic-tactile communication aids have a long history but recent technological advances enable wearable devices.
    • Prelingual deafness presents unique challenges in speech and language acquisition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of wearable acoustic-tactile communication aids for prelingually deaf children.
    • To assess the potential of tactile aids in facilitating lipreading skills.
    • To evaluate the impact of tactile aids on vocal production in young deaf children.

    Main Methods:

    • Case studies involving prelingually, profoundly deaf young children.
    • Implementation of wearable acoustic-tactile communication aids.
    • Assessment of lipreading acquisition and vocal production.

    Main Results:

    • Preliminary case studies indicate potential benefits of wearable tactile aids.
    • Tactile aids may assist in the acquisition of lipreading skills.
    • Improvements in vocal production were observed in some participants.

    Conclusions:

    • Wearable acoustic-tactile aids represent a promising assistive technology for prelingually deaf children.
    • Further research is warranted to fully understand the long-term benefits and applications.
    • These devices could offer significant advantages for deaf children with limited benefit from traditional hearing aids.
