LATAN's AT Device of the Month
Wake Assure by Ameriphone is an
alarm for individuals who live with hearing
impairments. By placing a bedshaker
disk under the
mattress or pillow it vibrates when it is
wake up time.
The motion
wakes up someone who wouldn't otherwise hear
the alarm. Furthermore, a plug-in is provided
to connect a lamp directly to the alarm
clock. The alarm goes off causing the lamp to
blink on and off.
The Ameriphone Wake Assure Alarm Clock
is available for demonstration and device
loan at either device demonstration program.
Please contact us for details and to
schedule an appointment. |
