Your home should feel safe and comfortable. For people with hearing loss, that sometimes means making sure you can hear or feel the things that keep you informed and protected.

Door and visitor alerts Visual or vibrating doorbell systems mean you'll always know when someone's at the door, whether you're in the kitchen, the garden, or upstairs. Many systems connect wirelessly to multiple receivers or smart devices around the home.

Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms Flashing strobe alarms and bed shaker systems connect to your existing smoke alarm or to a standalone unit, giving you a visual and physical alert if the alarm sounds. This is a critical safety need not just a convenience.

Alarm clocks and wake up systems Vibrating pillow pads or bed shaker alarm systems mean you can wake up independently. Many can also link to a doorbell or alarm system.

Baby monitors Visual baby monitors with screen displays and vibrating receiver pads mean you won't miss a sound from your baby's room.

Telephone and video calling Amplified phones, captioned phones, and devices that connect to your hearing aids via Bluetooth can make phone calls much more manageable. We can also advise on relay services and captioning apps.

"Can my council provide this equipment?" Some local authorities provide alerting equipment through their sensory impairment services. We work with public sector commissioners and can advise on what might be available to you. If you need to purchase privately, our prices are fair and our advice is free.

"Can I get a demonstration before buying?" Yes. We offer home demonstrations in Edinburgh and the Lothians and can arrange a video call to walk through how any product works before you commit.
