Improved tactile speech perception using audio-to-tactile sensory substitution with formant frequency focusing

Abstract Haptic hearing aids, which provide speech information through tactile stimulation, could substantially improve outcomes for both cochlear implant users and for those unable to access cochlear implants. Recent advances in wide-band haptic actuator technology have made new audio-to-tactile co...
