Eight years ago knowing my hearing loss was likely to get worse in the future/my condo building's fire alarm system was not scheduled for updating (I am now severely hearing impaired) at my own expense I had both strobe lights as well as horns installed in my condo. When the required fire alarm system confidence testing takes place every year, my strobe lights/horns are included. It was well worth every penny -- I do not have to worry or be concerned I will not hear the fire alarms.

There are products that alert people with hearing loss for a variety of reasons; including fire alarm, telephone, doorbell, baby cry, etc. That is done with vibrations, strobe lights, and loud sound. For many of us with profound hearing loss, the loud sound doesn't help much when you have your hearing technology off when you're sleeping. A lot depends on your personal situation.
