RITHM (Rehabilitation, Inclusion, Technology for Hearing Music) project provides musical education to children with hearing impairments. Using mobile personal stereo sound amplifiers and wireless radio-frequency systems for hearing aids the students watch specially designed video programs in which the sound of music is supplemented by verbal explanations, illustrations, subtitles and simultaneous sign language interpretation by a teacher. Music lessons are being recorded by Ural Philharmonic Orchestra and broadcasted by Sverdlovsk Philharmonic Digital Concert Hall. In addition to that, children visit the physical concert hall, where they can touch sounding instruments and reinforce the auditory sensations with visual and tactile vibrations.
