  Because vibrotactile aids are considered hearing-aid devices, and, in the user's best interests, we do not sell directly to the general public. Tactile aids must be purchased through a hearing health care professional, school, or government agency. For children, this is usually done by the school audiologist or speech pathologist. If you are interested in an aid for your child, a trial can be arranged by one of these individuals. Sometimes, charitable organizations such as Easter Seals or Lion's Club will assist in purchasing a tactile aid. However the unit is acquired, it is important that the child have a training program and that the school is involved in this program. Training is an essential part of using a tactile aid.
