[NFB-DB] Best Alarm Clocks for the Deaf-Blind

[Ineko Gary]

I just use my cell phone. And have it set on vibrate mode.

Because along with being blind, I’m also deaf and cannot hear the alarm. So I just use my alarm on my phone.

And if I don’t jump up when the alarm goes off from the vibrating motion. My Guide dog will wake me up. He’s a very smart 9 1/2 year-old.
