> Do these vests actually create a similar experience for deaf people
I don't think there's any technology that could make a deaf person feel the difference between major and minor or appreciate counterpoint or whatever, but I don't think that's a standard anybody would expect. Accessibility doesn't mean giving everyone identical experiences because it's impossible.
But do you and I even hear the same thing when we listen to the same music? Probably not, or else we'd have the same opinion of it. Creating an experience we all can enjoy is worth it, even if it's never going to be the same.
It reminds me of Mr Holland's Opus.

We can share an experience but come to different conclusions about it. > Creating an experience we all can enjoy is worth it, even if it's never going to be the same. This makes me think of vegan food. I'm not vegan but there are many vegan dishes I thoroughly enjoy. Despite that, I'm consistently disappointed by vegan adaptations of non-vegan dishes. The best vegan dishes IMO are the ones that don't pretend to be something they're not.
