Loud Alarm Clocks for the Hearing Impaired
Alarm clocks for the hearing impaired are of great use to people with hearing loss who have difficulty hearing standard alarm clocks. Hearing impaired people, a lot of the time, cannot hear regular alarm clocks. No one wants to oversleep when they need to get up in the morning.
Finding the right alarm clock to help you wake up after a good night’s sleep may have seemed elusive in the past, but not anymore! There is an array of different alarm clocks out there to help you surface in the morning and at HearingDirect, we have an extensive range of alarm clocks for the hearing impaired.
We want you to feel confident about going to sleep at night, knowing you will be woken up on time.
Alarm Clocks for the Hearing Impaired
Alerting sounds are known to send stimuli to the auditory nerves and deliver an “alarming” message to the brain. The processing of this message leads to an increase in the adrenaline level and thus evokes waking up as the signals sent say “emergency alarm”.
Generic alarm clocks are of little use to hearing impaired people and the deaf because they only have a standard alert volume.
Amplified alarm clocks, on the other hand, which are designed specially for the hearing impaired, provide a complete sensory wake-up call. They boast an extra loud ringer as well as additional functions specifically for those with hearing impairments. Loud alarm clocks are the perfect recipe for waking up. They use a combination of sound, light and vibration to wake the heaviest sleepers.
- Extra loud sound to up 113dB (louder than a jackhammer one meter away!)
- Vibration - usually a pad placed under your pillow which vibrates
- Flashing light
- Option for phone ring amplification
How loud are alarm clocks for the hearing impaired?
The main feature of amplified alarm clocks is a loud ringer, which is often combined with other helpful assets such as a vibration pad or flashing strobe lights. Amplified alarm clocks generically produce sound between 80-100dB, which is louder than standing at a busy road junction. However, there are extra loud alarm clocks that offer greater levels of alarm volume. Depending on your need and hearing loss, some alarm clocks emit an extremely loud alarm reaching volumes of up to 113dB, which is louder than standing one meter away from a jackhammer.
