Very Loud Alarm Clocks

Posted by catladyde9 @catladyde9, Apr 6, 2021

I need suggestions please for really loud alarm clocks as my current clocks no longer wake me (I am a very sound sleeper). When my hearing loss developed I initially had strobe lights added to my building's fire alarm system. Unfortunately the first alarm a few years ago the strobe lights failed - they did not wake me. I had to have the fire alarm company add very loud horns.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Hearing Loss Support Group.

Thank you Julie - I just checked the site and requested further information. Most of the clocks are
vibration alarms, not sound (my cats would kill me if 'their bed' suddenly vibrated) I know strobe lights will not wake me -- years ago I had strobe lights/horns installed in my condo which are connected to my building's fire alarm system. I actually slept through the initial strobe lights, so the horns had to be added. Happy to see my Panasonic amplified landline included; I was not aware a call blocker accessory was available.

@imallears Thank you for replying so quickly. My cats - who reign my home and consider our bed to be "theirs" not mine, would automatically 'veto' anything shaking or vibrating, disturbing their very precious slumber. I much prefer very loud noise vs jolted. No longer purchase from Amazon as they require texting to login/enter code which is not possible without smart technology which I do not have or have ever used. No longer possible to use plain vanilla email login & ordering on Amazon (customer service phone calls were all repeated disasters). Hopefully Amazon does not have a monopoly on very loud alarm clocks!

I put my vibrating alarm on a low setting and put it under my pillow. Your cats may be okay with that.
