Hi everyone. This is the 9th of 27 Idea Topics

Prior topics can be seen on google website:


9 Signaling Devices:Help compensate for your hearing
loss to provide confidence & security at home & work.
1 Flashing Lights:Most common signaling device used
that provides light patterns for various sounds

2 Bells:Loud bells can be used to alert you to the
telephone & door bell in the home.

3Wake-up Systems;
a Digital & Standard Clocks
b Bed Vibrators: Portable ones helpful when traveling.
Place under pillow and it vibrates at time set. Helpful
if you carry extra batteries.

4 Hearing Dogs:Trained by professionals to alert owners
to various significant sounds. Dog attracts owner & leads
him/her to the sound.

5 Purchasing Signaling Devices:Number of signaling & alerting devices grows daily. Try the internet, demonstration centers,
and talk to other hard of hearing people that use them.

Let's share our use of signaling & alerting devices so
others can profit by our experiences. If anyone owns a
hearing dog, share your experiences too.
