DAVID RING, N1EA SAYS:

For over 50 years I was a professional Morse operator, but now I’m 
unsure of my hearing and trusting what I’m hearing. I have a new sudden 
hearing loss because of an infection in my ear. I discovered that the 
haptic device’s LED’s confirm that the sensory input is getting through 
to me correctly! I see four dots then a dash accurately. I didn’t trust 
my hearing because it’s now damaged, but with all the vibrations and 
lights, I can confirm that I’m accurately hearing Morse correctly at 60 
WPM which is very useful to me. Now I am able to start trusting my newly 
damaged hearing. Sometimes just the vibrations are difficult to read, 
it’s like I think the code is a slur, but with the LEDs lighting 
crisply, I see the precision of the dots and trust my perceptions of the 
vibrations. I highly recommend this device and once I know what it can 
do, I wouldn’t be without one. It makes Morse on radio a multisensory 
experience and I love this.
