This Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock is very striking – designed for people of all ages!
New addition: https://shop.irishdeaf.com/sonic-bomb-digital-alarm-clock-with-bed-shaker
The Sonic Bomb has a ‘stealth’ colour scheme with a clear red digital display, which can be dimmed for night-time use. It has a very good vibration and loud sound, with easily adjustable tone and volume. This clock is fun and one of the most popular in our range. Sure to get even the sleepiest teenager out of bed! It is fantastic!
Features:
The VC10 vibrating analogue alarm is a battery powered clock with a conventional clock face and a battery powered vibrating pad to slip under the pillow. This clock has good vibration and a clear analogue clock face.
New in stock: https://shop.irishdeaf.com/vc10-vibrating-analogue-alarm-clock
The clock face illuminates at a press of the snooze button. The vibrating pad and buzzer both increase in urgency the longer the alarm is left on, however this is the quietest of our clocks.
Our evaluation panel liked the traditional analogue face and found it very easy to set. It is compact and battery powered making it ideal for those on the move.

New in stock: https://shop.irishdeaf.com/traveltim-vibrating-travel-alarm-clock
The travelTim is an alarm clock capable of waking a deaf person or someone suffering from hearing loss.
The travelTim is battery operated and can be set to a vibration, audible alarm or both together. This clock also incorporates an optional bright white LED light that will also visually alert you that the alarm is sounding/vibrating and has a socket to allow you to plug in an external vibrator if required (purchased separately – see associated items on right).
The whole clock is placed under your pillow and it is supplied with a clip and cord to allow you to secure it in place. There is also a protection panel to prevent accidentally activating any of the buttons. Alternatively it can be used on the bedside table, with an external vibrator plugged in (purchased separately).
In the opinion of our evaluation panel, this travel alarm clock has reasonable vibration (although not quite as good as the Sonic Shaker) and an adequate volume. The buttons are clear and brightly coloured, making it good for those with visual impairment. The display is also nice and clear.
