A wearable multiple-electrode electrotactile speech processor for the profoundly deaf.
A versatile, battery-powered device for the representation of speech information as patterns of tactile stimulation has been developed. The features of this device that are different from other electrotactile speech processors are the site of stimulation, the proposed strategy for the representation of speech information, and the small size of the device.
