"At first glance this tiny device looks like an ordinary accessory, but this
product is a little more specialized than it appears. Ontenna is a device that,
when clipped to the user’s hair just like a hair pin, can convey the character
of nearby sounds to the wearer using light and vibration. The device is being
developed as an aid for people who have lost or were born without their
hearing."

Very clever!  Great work.  Via Emmanuel Taban.

Share and enjoy,
