The AudioSense XM Allows Hearing-Impaired People to Enjoy Music

— July 8, 2010 — Tech
The hearing-impaired can now feel the beat and safely listen to their music with the AudioSense XM. This backpack was specially designed by Julia Stuxgren for people with sensitive or damaged ears.

The backpack on the AudioSense XM vibrates and pulses with the music, while the headphones are designed to pipe in music safely. The AudioSense XM also comes with a touchscreen LCD display that changes colors and images to match the music. People with impaired hearing may not be able to hear music, but with the AudioSense XM, they will still be able to experience its beauty.
