Ask The Expert - Question 7

 
 

I am profoundly deaf and would like to know if there is a device that will alert me to emergencies?

 

 
 

There many devices now available to help those with a range of hearing loss and they are referred to as ALDs (Assistive Listening Devices).  These include amplified telephones, wireless TV headphones and amplified alarm clocks.  For those with profound hearing losses, there are devices with vibrotactile or visual alerting signals.  These include such things as an alarm clock with a pillow shaker, or you can have doorbells, fire alarms, and telephones, which will flash lights in your home.  These devices can be customized based on your needs and your environment. They are generally available at your audiologists office.
