Metal detecting for hearing impaired

[ChaseJax]

Anyone know if there are any machines out there for the hearing impaired that vibrate instead of sound? Preferably a waterproof PI machine.
Or are there any aftermarket headphones or accessories that can be used?

There are some aftermarket items you can add, but there is now
a detector with a quality, sensitive vibration mode built into the
handle:

Fors CoRe Professional Coin and Relic Detector | Nokta Metal Detectors

I have the Fors Gold, and found that the vibration mode is very sensitive,
and will let you know when you pass a target.

I was operating my Ace 250 50 yards from the RR tracks (in Railroad Park) as the train Blasted his horn and thunders through I couldn't hear a thing but in the process go buzzing for a quarter signal I felt it vibrating. If I could find and recover that $.25 pinpointing it and digging it with just the 250, in all that noise, surely a def person more sensitivity to vibration could use one. add a Garrett pinpointed and it should be easy.

The Ace 250 does not offer a vibration mode...does it?

Makro Racer 2 has a vibration mode.

I've set my CTX3030 to utilize tones I can clearly hear.

I don't wear my hearing aids while detecting, so this was a great solution.
