Abstract
A communication method includes providing a speech training device configured to teach a hearing impaired user how to understand spoken language. The method further includes providing a haptic output device to a hearing impaired user, the haptic output device coupled to the hearing impaired user. The haptic output device receives a speech input from a non-hearing impaired person, the speech input directed to the hearing impaired user, and the haptic output device provides a haptic sensation to the hearing impaired user. The communication method also teaches a hearing-impaired person how to speak, and can teach a non-hearing impaired user to speak a foreign language. The communication method includes comparing speech of a user to a model speech, providing feedback to the user regarding the comparison, and repeating until the speech of the user matches the model speech.
