Dad creates elaborate beeping Easter eggs so his blind daughter can join candy hunts.

A bomb technician has used his expertise to create an Easter egg hunt for blind children - using beeping eggs.

David Hyche, now a special agent at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), developed the technology nine years ago when his four-month-old daughter turned blind.

A transmitter is placed inside plastic eggs that let off a high-pitched beeping sound.

Now Hyche has passed on the idea to the Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind in Birmingham.

'With my daughter, one of her first phrases was, 'I do it myself.' She wants to do it by herself and most of these kids want to do that too,' he told WBRC.
