The virtual ink had scarcely dried on our story about the MyVoice device for those with hearing disabilities when we got word of another effort aimed at the same audience. Set this time in Brazil, entertainment venue the Clash Club recently held a night of music specifically for the hearing-impaired. Set in the Barra Funda district of São Paulo, Clash Club offers three interior spaces with a capacity of 500 patrons.

Visual projections, meanwhile, were highlighted with lasers and brighter lighting. Interpreter service was available as well, and Clash’s own staff reportedly underwent training with a speech therapist and specialist in public health.
