    It is a pity that deaf people, or those who have hearing problems, can't enjoy music. But now a vibrating suit(振动的套装)brings them hope-it can allow them to "feel" music through their body, rather than hear it.

    The special suit is able to change music into some vibrating pulses(节拍). And the users can choose different levels.

    Chase Burton, 33, a deaf film-maker from Texas, US, has been testing out the suit for four years. He understands that a deaf person's experience with music is very different. "When I was a kid, I'd lie on the floor so I could feel the vibrations from my brother's music playing. " Burton told CNN. Now when he wears the vibrating suit, he says the sound hits different parts of his body. "Maybe it will shake me strongly in my knees first. And then I'll start tofeel the vibrations in my back. And then I'll feel some pulsations. "Burton said.

    The designers have been working on helping a large number of deaf people to have a chance of a musical experience. In 2016, some prototype suits were tested at a Lady Gaga concert in the US. The suit was also tested at a different concert in Las Vegas in 2019.  It was given to 150 audiences(听众)at the concert,where half the audience members were deaf and half could hear. At the same time, the company has been improving the technology and planned to put it into the market soon. And the final goal of the company is to make the technology available to all.

    "We truly think anything that has an audio element(元素)can also have a vibrational experience connected with it as well. "The company's talent and business development director, Jordan Richardson, told CNN.
