    The Deaf Get a Chance to "Feel" Music With New Speaker Design

    Beethoven just wishes he could have lived to see this. A new device has been created by a product design student in London to allow deaf poeple to "feel" music using vibrations through an audio speaker. The "Vibrato" by Shane Kerwin actually connects to a speaker and relays the sounds of different instruments through unique vibrations for each individual one. And apart from feeling music, the deaf and hard-of-hearing can also create their own tunes by connecting the speaker to a computer.
