Being hearing impaired means that those visitors who might like to stop in and chat for a while might not be heard knocking on the door or ringing a regular doorbell. That’s why these door bells for the hearing impaired are so important.
The easiest door bells for those hard of hearing to install are those that are wireless. There’s basically two pieces to these units: the surface mounted piece that goes on the outside of the door and includes the push button (just like a normal door bell) and the receiver part which can be programmed to chime with various tune or will flash a light when activated. If you have a sleeping Grandma or Grandpa, just set the receiver to flash only so that the chime will not wake them up.
The hearing impaired door bell receiver of the Honeywell system below is one of the nicest on the market. It’s fully portable up to 450 feet from the base unit so if your senior citizen loved one is in the garden, they won’t miss their friend bringing over tea and cookies.
The Honeywell unit can even be set to chime when a security light is activated or even if a door or window is opened. The additional security alone for someone with loss of hearing is worth the installation. And, all of the below door bells can be set to chime at mach decibel levels – not really, but, they do get very LOUD!
