Hearing impaired people have a handicap for blind spots such as behind, and as an example, they often encounter danger because they cannot recognize a car approaching from behind while honking their horn. In this situation, the driver is alerted and the hearing impaired cannot hear it, and the gap between consciousness and cognition increases the risk. In this study, we report the development of a device that senses warning sounds, recognizes the surrounding environment by mechanical vibration transmission, and supports hearing handicap as support for people with hearing impairments.
