Hearing Impared Alarm Clock????

Question

I was at a fast food place today, and I saw a deaf couple communicate with eachother, then order by holding up the number of fingers that corresponded with the number of the meal they wanted (ex: hold up two fingers for the #2 meal). I then started wondering how those who are hearing impared use appliences that normally require sound, such as an alarm clock? I'm just asking this out of curiosity.

Answer 1

They use the alarm clock inside their head like Cosmo Kramer.  There is something called the circadian rhythm.  Google it and you'll understand if you don't already

Answer 2

IT professionals could invent small hand held electronic  device that can vibrate at specific time so as as to alert them, that can show on its screen what has been typed to enable them to communicate others what they want and others also can communicate by typing on the keyboard of the device.I don't know whether such device is available

Answer 3

Well, they probably have one of those extra-loud alarm clocks that you order in those specialty magazines like Harriet Carter.

That or they just don't use one.

I don't have any friends who are deaf, so I wouldn't know... (but I have a few who listen to music so loud they'll be deaf before they graduate -_-)

Answer 4

There are some that turn on a strobe light, and others that vibrate the bed.  I have chronic hearing loss, so I just open my drapes so the early morning sun wakes me!  (My bedroom faces East!)

Answer 5

Yeah either a loud alarm or a bright strobing light. There are also vibrating ones that shake the bed.
