By chance, I learned that at some large concerts, there is a special profession for the hearing impaired - concert sign language interpreter, which aroused my great curiosity. Do people with hearing impairment also have the need to attend concerts? The answer is yes, and everyone is born with the right to enjoy music. But obviously, the cost of training a "concert sign language interpreter" is huge, and they can't take care of the hearing-impaired anywhere, anytime. So I came up with the idea for this app, which I hope will provide a special music experience for the hearing-impaired. The app calls the iPhone's microphone to listen to the music around you, converts the music from sound signals to vibration signals, and then uses the iPhone's vibration unit to deliver the music's melody to you. The app was originally designed for the hearing impaired, but I think it will enhance the music experience for the non-hearing impaired as well. I hope that more people will have the opportunity to enjoy music! If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact me! 1311768769@qq.com
