How Can We Help Deaf People Enjoy Music?

So asks Lynsey Robinson, who works for the Sensory Trust, which is based in the Eden Project, Cornwall.

Lynsey recently found that the hearing-impaired could enjoy a music concert if given an inflated balloon to hold. The balloon amplified the vibrations and allowed the person to experience the concert in a new way.

So her question is: can we think of other imaginative ways for those with poor hearing to get more out of music and sound?

Answers on the back of a postcard in the comments, if you please.

Nod to Ruth Wilson, who also posted about this in the Women in Science forum.
