Gifts for the Hard of Hearing

If you're favorite someone has a hearing loss, there are many products that would make wonderful gifts.

Television:

TV too loud for the rest of the family? Stop the clicker wars and try the latest in TV Listening Devices. A small transmitter sits on top of the television set and sends the sound to a lightweight, comfortable, receiver that fits in your ears like headphones. It's wireless and comes with a volume control on the receiver so you can control the volume in the headset without disturbing the rest of the family.
They range from $229 to $259.

Doorbell Ringers:

Do people have to pound on your door when they come to visit? Do they ring and ring the doorbell but you don't hear it? There are many types of signaling devices that will enable the hard of hearing to feel confident about their environment. Doorbell ringers and phone signalers can solve the problem of not hearing visitors knocking or calling.

The doorbell unit can be a separate doorbell button or it can connect to your current doorbell. A wireless unit plugs into the wall and sounds when the doorbell is pressed. It even comes with additional units to plug in around the house and even outdoors. This is especially good for the gardener.
They range from $49.95 to 99.95

Alarm Clocks:

Afraid to fall asleep and not be able to hear the alarm in the morning? Fear no more. There are units that will get you up, one way or another. They're even fun!

Sonic Alert has created alarm clocks that are extra loud at 113 dB volume. Some even plug into the lamp so that it flashes when it goes off. The fun part is that there are units that have a vibration unit with them. You place it under your pillow or sheet and it vibrates you awake!
These range from $32.95 to $76.90
