We examined the effectiveness of multisensory methods in learning animal sounds and the onomatopoeia that describe them. Hearing-impaired individuals find it difficult to learn onomatopoeia because they have limited or no access to auditory information. To address this problem, we developed a device that converts audio information into vibrations, and attempted to broaden the experience of sound by using multisensory methods to stimulate the senses of sight, hearing, and touch. In the rhythm discrimination test using the device, the hearing-impaired group showed better performance with vibration added to the audio information than without vibration. In addition, we designed a science lesson to help hearing-impaired individuals learn cicada songs. This lesson used multiple media including text, images, sounds, sound waveforms, onomatopoeia, and vibrations. The evaluation results showed a significant difference between the students who were able to distinguish the vibrations and those who could not. The former reported that they found the lesson enjoyable and that it was a useful way to learn science.
