My mom brought the story of David Hyche and his ingenious invention to my attention. Mr. Hyche's daughter, Rachel, lost her sight as a baby. As she grew, her clever dad invented audible Easter eggs, so she would be able to participate in Easter egg hunts like sighted kids.
The International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators (oh yeah, did I mention that David Hyche is also a BOMB TECHNICIAN?!?!?) funded the production of these eggs on a larger scale, so they can be enjoyed by more kids with visual impairment.
Here is the story as told by two news outlets, the UK Mirror and UNILAD:
Bomb technician dad invents beeping Easter eggs for blind daughter to hunt (Mirror)
Dad Creates Beeping Easter Eggs For Blind Daughter To Hunt (UNILAD)
