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.

Features:

  • Conventional clock face – for those not keen on digital clocks – but it does tick!
  • Snooze button – approx. 4 mins
  • Buzzer and pad – volume and frequency increase if alarm not switched off
  • vibrating pad – included in price
  • Choice of alarm settings – buzzer or vibrate or both
  • Clock face non-illuminated – good for those who prefer a dark room, press snooze button to illuminate it temporarily
  • Battery powered – 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.
