How loud is the alarm? Would it would for people who have partial hearing loss?

The volume is adjustable in steps from very loud to very soft. I have partial hearing loss and have no problem hearing it at a medium setting. The loudest setting will wake the dead. (Or the very asleep!)

My aide is in an upstairs bedroom, and when I press the button downstairs, I can hear the alarm upstairs (provided the doors are open). I assume that would make it loud enough for the person near it.

I think so. My Dad has partial hearing loss and he hears it. There are several tunes and noise choices so, I feel there are some that would hit the pitch you can hear.

Hi Mike, the timer isn't to loud, but you can here it if you are in another room, and if you are listening for it. The alarm last for one min. It is a great timer. I have gotten 2 of them. 1 for home and 1 for work :D

Sorry I don't have a better answer. It's pretty loud but not specifically designed for the hearing impaired.

Depends on level of impairment. My hearing is not the best and I can hear it fine. It is not real loud, like a person speaking in a normal voice. A very nice scale.

I would estimate the sound to be about a 7. We have a one story ranch so if keys are at other end of the house, we can hear the alarm as long as no tvs or radio are on. If were on another level, we would have to take it to that level and press it there to get it to beep on that level to hear it. Hope this helps. I often leave keys in my coat pockets, this thing has already saved me a lot of time!

I have partial hearing loss in my left ear. I use the amplifier in my left ear and it does pretty good. the only problem I have is the need to constantly adjust the volume, depending on my surroundings. It aslo goes through batteries rather quickly.

I suppose it depends on how sensitive your hearing is, and how well you can tolerate quiet background noise. I found it quiet enough for it's location, ie, attic vent.

I'm not a doctor so not sure if it works for "hearing impaired". I guess it depends on how impaired your hearing is. I know you can turn the volume up much louder than is comfortable for me. Hope this helped :-)

The alarm is not real loud, and no volume control. Unless you had this inside in a place a few rooms away, or maybe in basement if it was not far away from the door down to the basement, you wouldn't hear it probably.

Of the 3 types of alarms I have had, this is by far the loudest. We currently have it located in a 20'x30' open area, more or less, and there's no way you could not hear it. It echoes since the room isn't furnished yet. We are in the process of building and haven't spent a night there yet to answer about the middle of the night, but I'm very confident that it would, if it were within 15' of your bedroom.

Most likely it will. Remember loudness in addition to frequency may be a factor in your hearing loss. I have no doubt that if you and the timer are in the same room with the loudness level on high that you will hear it. Once you get the timer check out how far away in the house you can get from it before the sound disappears. Good luck and enjoy.

I don't know the exact decibel level. It makes noise but I have not found it terribly loud. You wouldn't want to use it near when anyone nearby was sleeping.

It's loud, and is much better when used as a pair with the High & Low tones. However for a loud and unbearable noise to scare people, a better choice would be a high pitched alarm like a fire or smoke alarm. THe human ear is much more sensitive to these high pitched frequencies which becomes unbearable

It really depends on how light a sleeper you are. The sound is adjustable. if you need it loud, just set it loud when you go to bed.Good luck, JoAnn

Hi Amy,The alarm was loud enough to wake my husband and I up from across the hall, but my son slept right through it every time. We'd have to go wake him up. Quite honestly the alarm is so loud and so close to his ear I was concerned about hearing damage. You really don't want an alarm louder than this one. The volume is adjustable.

I don't think it is. I use the alarm in my classroom, and it reaches over the voices of 30+ students so it is quite loud. Still, I personally do not find it jarring.

The alarm is not quiet. You can hear it quite well. The clock itself is quiet. You can't hear the ticking like you can in some other noisy ones. And I am very happy about that!
