Joel Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 I know that you can’t wear Rondo 3 overnight while you’re sleeping and the Sonnets are really clunky. What do you wear overnight while you’re sleeping in case there’s an emergency and you need to hear a fire alarm. If you have a CI in both ears and where the sonnet in both ears, do you leave them in overnight? Do you leave both of them in? What is most comfortable for you? Thanks, joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted June 27 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 27 @Joel I have a smoke detector that send the alert to a transmitter next to my bed which has a vibrating disc attached positioned between the mattress and box spring. I also set up sound recognition alerts on my iPhone and enabled notifications to my FitBit which vibrates on my wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted June 28 Author Report Share Posted June 28 Thanks. How about in a hotel room, you just rely on the Fitbit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted June 28 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 28 @Joel Either I rely only on the Fitbit with sound alerts or also wear a processor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 I am not bilateral, but when my HA is out and processor off and am sleeping on my limited hearing side, the world is silent. I had never considered the consequences of not being able to hear an alarm. For waking up I too put my phone on vibrate under my pillow. But many years ago I was "housemother" for a hearing loss school when a fire occurred at night. It was before CI time. The chaos was unbelievable. In smoke the kids could not communicate at all and had no idea what to do or what was happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanne Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 I have a vibrating bed alarm and I set my phone up to flash and vibrate by my bed, just in case my husband doesn't hear an alarm. Check out the RedCross and your local Fire Department to find out what they have to offer. The RedCross brought a vibrating alarm, and oh how it vibrates - scared me when I used it, and set up a strobe and alarms that connect. The Fire Department should offer suggestions as to what they would like to see if the home contains someone who is disabled in any way. clausesalvatorr and Mary Beth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
