Gadget to hear phone/cell phone ringing when not wearing hearing aids

Posted by kayda916 @kayda916, Jun 26, 2023

I am trying to find a gadget to help in hearing the phone/cell phone ring when I am sleeping without my hearing aids. The bed shakers I find only work with alarm clocks. Does anyone know of a device that would help?

Hi, Kayda. So you're saying that the iLuv Smart Shaker 3 vibrates -- loudly? when you get a cell phone call?
Does it also work with text message alert sounds?
Hubby can't hear much when he's wearing his hearing aids connected to the TV!

Hello, @grrranny . Yes, you can increase the intensity of the vibration. It will react to an incoming call, incoming text or even the alarm clock set on your iPhone. If it is sitting on an end table, it will definitely make you jump. The strength of it is like one of those wind-up toys that jumps around.

I am using my iPhone to transcribe conversations at meetings. The font is small and I am wondering if the transcription can be sent to my iPad from the iPhone as it would allow me to place the phone farther away. Thoughts? Tx

I believe if you link both devices together/share, it should be visible on both devices. I know that occurs with pictures and my notes.
