Top 5 Hearing Products for Home Safety & Independence

1. Extra-Loud Doorbell Systems

Never miss a delivery or a friend at the door with a bell that rings louder, flashes and vibrates to get your attention.

Recommendation: The Chimeflash is an all-in-one solution for anyone wanting a reliable, extra loud and portable doorbell that flashes brightly so you can’t miss it. Add the vibrating pad for additional sensory assistance.

2. Vibrating Alarm Clocks

If you can’t hear a standard alarm, choose a clock that shakes the bed or pillow to wake you up reliably every time.

Recommendation: The mains-powered Sonic Boom SB500 Bomb is a digital, extra loud 113db alarm clock that wakes even the heaviest of sleepers! And it comes with a powerful shaker. For something more portable, the TravelTim provides a combination of sound, light or vibration.

3. TV Listening Systems

Avoid blasting the TV - use a personal system to hear speech clearly without disturbing others while still being in complete control of the volume.

Recommendation: We recommend the Sonumaxx systems, they come with different accessories making them ideal for anyone with or without hearing aids.

4. Smoke or Fire Alerting Systems

Some specialised alerting kits include strobe lights or vibrating pads linked to your smoke alarm system for a complete alerting package.

Recommendation: The FireAngel Wi-Safe 2 Wireless Strobe and Vibrating Pad is a safety device ideal for the elderly or those with hearing loss. It alerts users to fire or carbon monoxide alarms through a bright strobe light and a vibrating pad that can be placed under a pillow. It connects wirelessly with up to 50 FireAngel devices for full-home coverage.

5. Amplified Telephones

Make and receive calls confidently with big buttoned and large screen phones that boost volume and clarity - great for those with dexterity issues or anyone that wants to stay in touch with family and services. All recommendations below are hearing aid compatible, suitable for the elderly or those with dexterity issues, have amplified sound, and are easy to use.
