The Wearable That Turns Sound Into Feeling
Re-connecting the Deaf community to the acoustic world through state-of-the-art neuro-engineering
What is ACETT?
ACETT stands for Auditory Communication Enhancement Through Touch. It is an innovative accessibility device designed to support Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing individuals by enabling them to feel sound through real-time vibrations on the hand. ACETT converts both speech and environmental sounds into tactile feedback, allowing users to perceive audio cues through touch.
Connect better with friends in conversations.
Follow classroom talks and public speeches.
Sense approaching cars and other city sounds.
Enjoy music through rhythm and touch.
Experience nature in a new way.
How It Works
- Real-Time Sound Capture: ACETT’s built-in microphones pick up speech and surrounding sounds instantly.
- Smart Translation to Touch: ACETT understands sounds and turns them into vibrations on the hand. Each voice creates a unique feeling, helping users tell voices and tones apart.
- Feel the Sound: Vibrations are delivered through a soft, skin-contact interface on the hand, letting users feel what’s happening around them – naturally and intuitively.
- Four Sound Profiles: ACETT adapts to your surroundings with four modes – Speech, Nature, City, and Music – each offering a distinct, meaningful touch experience.
Built With the Community, Not Just For It
Accessibility isn’t designed in a lab—it’s built in real life.
ACETT was developed through a rigorous, user-driven process with Deaf and hard-of-hearing beta testers.
From the first prototype to the final interface, their feedback dictated our algorithms, our fit, and our features.
The result? A device that doesn’t just work in theory—it works seamlessly in the reality of your daily life.
Restoring the Rhythm of Life
ACETT translates sound into feeling, turning your environment into a rich, sensory experience:
- Speech: Sharpen conversations and boost lip-reading confidence.
- City: Navigate safely with intuitive feedback on traffic and sirens.
- Music: Feel the rhythm, texture, and beat of your favorite tracks.
- Nature: Reconnect with the subtle, hidden sounds of the outdoors.
Based on Science
ACETT isn’t just a device – it’s a science-backed innovation.
Its technology is grounded in scientific research showing that the brain meaningfully connects touch with sound:
- Perception improves when touch and sound combine in the 200–300 Hz range.
- The brain combines sound and vibration best at certain frequencies.
- Touch can activate the auditory cortex, showing strong links between senses.

We strive to meet or exceed the estimated timeline, and we’ll keep you updated throughout the production process. If your order is expected to be completed earlier or if there are any unforeseen delays, we’ll notify you as soon as possible. This approach allows us to maintain the highest manufacturing standards while scaling production to meet demand.
