Tactile Aids

Tactile aids are devices that use touch to help individuals with hearing impairments gather sound information. They convert sound signals into physical sensations—like vibrations or taps—that can be felt on the body, such as the hands or torso. These aids provide an alternative way to perceive sounds, especially useful in noisy environments or for those who cannot use traditional hearing aids. Tactile aids support communication and environmental awareness by translating auditory information into tactile cues, enhancing understanding and safety for users with hearing challenges.
