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

 

Hi all,

I’m looking for suggestions for good independently accessible & adjustable vibrating (+/- sound) alarm clock.

I am completely blind and hard of hearing.

When I do not wear my cochlear implant or hearing aid at night, & some days have been struggling to wake up on time because I cannot hear the sound alarm go off.

I started using an iLuv Smart Shaker 2 in November 2019 which was a fully accessible product and remains reliable today with some minor issues due to time.

In April 2021, I bought a SmartShaker 3 which worked well for about 6 months then stopped working and support wouldn't do anything about it.

I then bought a replacement SmartShaker 3 which only worked for less than one day.

Is there a specific product or company you would recommend that sells reliable bed shakers that are completely accessible to someone who is blind?

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Petras
