Smoke alarms for the deaf and hard of hearing.

A standard smoke alarm protects you with a loud horn, which does nothing for someone who is deaf or hard of hearing, especially while asleep. The good news is there are alarms built for exactly this, and setting up a home that alerts everyone is straightforward.

Why a standard alarm is not enough

Hearing loss often affects the high-pitched range a standard alarm uses, and during sleep many people simply will not wake to it. Counting on a horn alone leaves a real gap in protection for part of the household.

Strobe and bed-shaker alarms

Two proven options cover it. A strobe alarm adds a bright flashing light that wakes a sleeping person visually. A bed-shaker is a pad that goes under the mattress or pillow and vibrates hard when the alarm sounds. Many homes use both together for the bedroom.

Connecting them to the rest of the home

The key is that these alarms tie into the rest of the system, so a fire anywhere in the house triggers the strobe and shaker by the bed. We make sure the bedroom alerts are linked to every other alarm, not working on their own.
