Hearing Loss and solutions to stay safe at home.
Living with hearing loss can impact on our function and we may begin to feel socially isolated and afraid. Are you struggling to follow conversations or can’t hear your door bell ringing? If you have said yes to any of these questions don’t worry as there are solutions to help you to remain safe at home. Some of these solutions include the Bellman and Symfon Products.
The Bellman’s visit Pager is small, light-weight and can be carried in your pocket or on your pocket. It notifies you with vibrations and a lighted symbol when a Visit transmitter is being activated. For example if your doorbell rings a light will show under the doorbell sign on your pager.
The Bellman’s Ring Door Bell Kit allows a person to be notified via the pager and flashing receiver if the door bell is ringing. The ring video doorbell includes HD camera, night vision, and motion detection so you know who is at your front door at all times. It has a built-in rechargeable battery operated and therefore no wires to connect. It has two-Way audio therefore a person via their mobile can see and speak to whoever is at her front door without having to place themselves at risk. It also allows a person to answer their door bell when they aren’t home. The device is set up using WIFI.
The Bellmans Visit Alarm Clock has a loud (100dB) alarm and strong vibrating bed shaker. It also has a connection for the telephone line, so you can be alerted to phone calls, and an external input socket for connection to other Bellman Visit devices such as the mobile phone sensor. This alarm clock and bed shaker will alert a person to devices at night time whilst they are sleeping in particular fire alarms.
Finally the Bellman Vibio Bluetooth Alarm Clock is a device which will alert you to messages and phonecalls on your mobile whilst you are asleep. It will also alert you to alarm clocks. A wireless bed shaker that goes under your pillow and vibrates to wake you up and alert you to calls. Rather than placing your mobile under your pillow this is a safer way of being alerted.
