Some deaf people attended a classical music concert in New York.

A company called Music: Not Impossible has created equipment they can wear to feel the music.

A manager at Music: Not Impossible, Flavia Naslausky, said that everyone wants to use the device.

Researchers developed this technology after many years.

The device can translate music into vibrations on the skin in real time.

Patrick Hanlon explains that it can also change to match different types of music and instruments.

The device vibrates in 8 parts of the body.

Instead of changing the music volume, wearers can change the level of vibrations they feel.

Each level has a different colour LED light.

Jay Zimmerman's a deaf musical theatre composer.

He said this device is much better than the first one in 2018.

Before, the deaf community had to hold inflated balloons to feel the vibrations of concert music.

Now, it's a whole body experience.

Pop star Pharrell thinks this device has changed how people experience music forever.
