- IAmTheGuy, on 02/27/2009, -0/+28Sound waves ARE vibrations.
- Tetrator, on 02/27/2009, -0/+13Seriously. I know what is actually happening here is very useful for deaf people, but the submitted title of this article flat out sucks.
- hawk0168, on 02/27/2009, -1/+8I read the title, and thought "I wonder when a woman will hook this device to a vibrator and go to a thrash metal concert..."
- bendthedark, on 02/27/2009, -1/+6Why can't we all just learn Sign Language?
- Zulu1001, on 02/27/2009, -0/+5Glad someone else noticed that :)
- inactive, on 02/27/2009, -0/+5I just imagined a vibrator designed to provide pleasurable feedback for non-stop talking. It was a waking nightmare.
- bhavinp, on 02/27/2009, -0/+4Aren't sounds already vibrations?
- inactive, on 02/27/2009, -0/+3Hopping on the "aren't sound waves vibrations anyway?" train.
- sk8ngame, on 02/27/2009, -0/+3Haha, first thing I said to myself... But good news for deaf people I guess...
- mattingly233, on 02/27/2009, -0/+2Here's another crazy invention for those who wear hearing aids, I'm just saying, the things people come up with: http://www.hearingaidsweatband.com/index2.php?home
- mahler, on 02/27/2009, -0/+2Which makes me want to see "It's All Gone Pete Tong" again
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388139/ - jollyfats, on 02/27/2009, -0/+2Great idea (keep the sweat out of a $1500+ device). But at $22 + $6 shipping for ONE PAIR of them? That is crazy indeed.
- SpeedStix, on 02/27/2009, -0/+2Correct me if I am wrong but isn't that what the existing technology in hearing aids already do? Seriously not new technology.
- PaulHouse, on 02/27/2009, -1/+3Dr. Patrick Flannigan did better 10 years ago.
- ASSASSYN360, on 02/27/2009, -0/+2No air no sound. Sound bounces (vibrates) off air. Thats why in space noone can hear you scream...literally.
- derekmas10, on 02/27/2009, -1/+2It wouldn't help people that are blind AND deaf and who lost their hands in an unfortunate garbage disposal accident, 'cause they couldn't hear that it wasn't a light they turned on to help them find their hearing aid that fell down the sink.
I'm just sayin' - hiPpymIck, on 02/27/2009, -1/+2as Beethoven got deaf he used to hold a piece of wood in his mouth that was attached directly to the piano he was playing so he could feel the different notes
- ocarnill, on 02/27/2009, -0/+1I remember all the deaf people at Grateful Dead shows holding balloons to their faces to feel the music.
- stix213, on 02/28/2009, -0/+1And here I already thought sound waves were vibrations.... Who knew they needed to be translated?
- fluxion, on 02/27/2009, -1/+1well, no non-vacuum, no sound
