**The Story**Deaf and people with hearing loss face challenges in engaging with various media forms, such as tv, movies and music, as well as spectator sports like football. Whilst subtitles aid in helping the viewer understand the developing story, subtitled entertainment doesn't compare to partaking in the 'real thing'.**Inspiration & idea**SensorRail become involved with the deaf community, and we have noticed this is one of the significant challenges in their daily life, here in the UK, most of the TV channels here provide subtitles and event names/classes but unfortunately, this won't allow the user to engage entirely with the programs showing on the TV.Thomas Edison was pressing his teeth into the wood of pianos helped him to experience the vibrations in his skull. Or in his own words, it allowed him to "hear through my teeth."(independent.co.uk, 2021).Studies show that brain imaging is revealing that deaf people are able to 'hear' vibration as others hear sounds -- using the auditory centres of the brain (Nature, 2021).**Determining user needs**We have developed a non-speech sound detection platform to help people with hearing loss to be notified of a wide range of emergency and essential sounds such as Fire alarms, baby crying, doorbells, microwave beeps etc. and one of the wish lists from SensorRail's deaf focus groups was to have help engaging with TV shows (including sports), as well as when they are attending live sports events (e.g. football matches).

**故事**聋人和失聪人士在接触各种媒体形式(如电视、电影和音乐)以及足球等观众性运动时面临挑战。虽然字幕有助于帮助观众理解发展中的故事，但字幕娱乐并不能与参与“真实的事物”相比。**灵感与想法**SensorRail参与聋人社区，我们注意到这是他们日常生活中面临的重大挑战之一，在英国，这里的大多数电视频道都提供字幕和事件名称/课程，但不幸的是，这不能让用户完全参与到电视上播放的节目中。托马斯·爱迪生把牙齿塞进钢琴的木头里，帮助他体验头骨的振动。或者用他自己的话说，它让他能够“通过我的牙齿听到”。研究表明，大脑成像正在揭示，聋人能够在其他人听到声音的同时‘听到’振动--使用大脑的听觉中心(自然，2021)。**确定用户需求**我们开发了一个非语音声音检测平台，帮助听力损失的人获得广泛的紧急和基本声音的通知，如火警、婴儿哭声、门铃、SensorRail的聋人焦点小组的愿望清单之一是帮助他们参与电视节目(包括体育节目)，以及当他们参加现场体育活动(如足球比赛)时。
