| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this research was establishment of training method and elucidation of the mechanism of voice pitch control using tactile feedback to assist singing of deaf-blind or hearing impaired persons. The results of the evaluation of our system, differences in accuracy of singing by the size of the melody change were not observed. It was indicated that the deafblind users regained the correspondence between pitch control and proprioceptive feedback of laryngeal muscles by the training using our system. Training method using data of the accuracy of singing as an indicator was also established.
