Assistive listening devices make it possible for hard of hearing and deaf people to carry out daily life functions. These devices usually use bright strobe lights or vibration to visually or physically communicate to hard of hearing and deaf people what they can not hear.
Door Signals
Door signals alert the hard of hearing or deaf person that someone is at the door. They work by picking up the sound of a knock on the door and transmitting it to a light signal. This light signal flashes brightly.
Phone Signals
Phone signals work the same way. A telephone and a lamp are connected to the telephone. When the phone rings, the alert is transmitted via either sound or flashing light.
Both telephone and door signals can work with remote receivers to distribute the alert throughout a home or building.
Alarm Clocks
Wake-up alarms help a deaf or hard of hearing person to wake up by either flashing a light, or by creating vibrations. An alarm can be connected to a lamp, or there can be an attached bed shaker.
Fire Alarms
Fire alarms for hard of hearing and deaf people use sound, light, or vibration to alert people to a fire or smoke. Fire alarms can be either hard wired or plugged in.
Televisions
Hard of hearing people can use television listening devices to pick up the television sound signal and amplify it. Headsets allow the hard of hearing person to listen as loudly as they like without bothering others around them. Plus, the television listening device can also be used with other electronic devices such as computers.
