,

YOu can get an alarm clock with vibration mode from Weibretch technologies.

Or do a Netsearch for deaf/hard of hearing assisitive devices on your web

browswers and places around you area.

Could I get some feedback from some of you that are deaf or have hearing

loss

(like me) what you use for an alarm clock? I have realized that I don't

always

hear a conventional alarm clock if I have turned ion the night so that I am

covering my hearing ear - I don't have a significant other so no one is

there to

hear the alarm for me - any suggestions? Thanks Winkle

I use a " shake awake " ...

it's a little 2 " x3 " x1/2 " alarm clock that I put under

my pillow. Rather than making a bunch of noise, it

buzzes to wake the person. I think it makes noise as

a result of the buzzing, but it's not that loud. It's

worked pretty well for me as long as I set the right

time (i.e. am vs. pm) and remember to turn the alarm

to the on position. (oh, if I get to bed very late

and need to get up early, then sometimes I have slept

through it--or maybe I set it wrong)

It was either purchased through Communications

or my university provided it for me (I can't

remember). But I'm fairly certain would have

them. has put up the contact info for them

before if you need it.

If you are a heavy sleeper, they even have systems

which shake your whole mattress (yeah, it's called a

3-year-old nephew...)

Hey ,

I use an alarm clock that is a combonation vibrator and flasher. You put the

vibrator ubder your pillow and you can plug your bed side lamp into it so

that the lamp flashes. It also makes a noise up to 90 decibils if you can

still hear. It's very good and can be purchased through a catloug or at

Radio Shack. Hope this helps.

LOL Okay call me a cheapskate.. But I use my vibrating pager tucked in the

pillowcase when I need an Alarm clock. But my " body clock " is usually pretty

accurate and I can wake up about when I want to

this site

, I became deaf long before most of todays alarms were invented so I was

forced to be invent my own ( it is patented). It has a double effect in the

sense that 1) I use a nightstand next to the bed with your usual lamp 2) The

most effective device for us heavy sleepers I use a 1400 watt hairdryer

mounted next to the lamp and pointing at the bed. (feels good on those cold

MN. mornings). Both are then connected to your everyday lamp timer. So if

you happened to not be facing the light the hairdryer gets your attention

everytime, guaranteed. Also you need to make sure the hairdryer is supported

so it does not vibrate and fall off, if you don't wake up right away. I still

use it when my wife is gone and I need to get up early.
