Prolonged exposure to constant signal often leads to auditory fatigue in audio engineers and music enthusiasts, resulting in a cycle of increasing volume and further auditory degradation (hearing loss). The concept of "Embodied Sound" proposes using the body`s capacity to sense vibrations as a method for interpreting sound, shifting the focus from the ears to the body. Early results of an embodied sound system showed a detectable frequency range of ~11Hz-17kHz. Despite as large variation between frequencies, this system provides a reliable auditory and tactile experience for both hearing and hard-of-hearing individuals. Future research should focus on capture and signal processing workflows to accommodate a broader usable frequency range.
