Preferred term

sensory restoration and substitution  

Definition

  • One way of coping with blindness and deafness has been some form of sensory substitution—allowing one or more remaining senses to take over for the nonfunctioning sense. Because the senses of vision, hearing, and touch all convey information about the physical and social environments, they can substitute for each other to varying extents.
