Fire alarm system for the hearing impaired

The UK government has started a free fire alarm program for the hearing impaired. This is a smoke detector designed specifically for people who have difficulty hearing, including signal lights, vibration and sound.

Unlike conventional fire alarms mounted on the ceiling, the hearing impaired can be placed under a pillow or mattress. When smoke is detected, they shake and simultaneously light up the light to awaken them. Statistics show that about one-third of hearing impaired people have a fire alarm in the middle of the night, when they have removed their hearing aids, while nearly a quarter say they have trouble. daytime.
