Hello. Would this work with someone who is hearing impaired? Does the receiver light up? Thanks.

On the loudest setting, they are quite loud. The receivers do not light up.

Yes it lights up to the tune so I would pick a long melody here a video :) http://youtu.be/OycjExoC4Yg

I don't know what model receiver I have. I do know that the lights go on when the door is opened but that may have nothing to do with either the transmitter or receiver. It might simply be a mechanical switch or other relay that turns the light on when the door is opened. I have never turned the lights on or off using the transmitter without opening the door.

My mother is 86 and about 80% deaf and blind in one eye. This device helps a little bit but only in very quiet situations, and, again, only a little bit. However, since the item is refundable, you might want to try it and return it if it does not work for her. Good luck.

The product description certainly says it works with hearing aids, but I have not tried it so can't confirm. Perhaps others are using with hearing aids. It is a high quality product, so should do what it says it will do.

This was the reason I purchased this product - for better clarity of dialog vs the background music, etc. Did it help? Yes it did. Will it work for you? That would depend on the severity of your hearing loss, and to some extent what you are viewing. I think you will see a noticeable improvement, but it won't be 100% better. One other thing to consider - there were other models of this same product, although more expensive, not sure if going for a better one would equal higher satisfaction. I would go for it. I don't regret the purchase at all .Hope this helps!

It is not fully backlit. The LCD display and the middle button along the top row are backlit, but only when other buttons are pressed.It has a learning feature, but I haven't had to use it. I've been able to get by just be entering codes for other devices. But that's mostly unnecessary if your other devices support HDMI control (CEC). For me, I only needed to enter the code for my TV.Oh, this is an excellent receiver. It sounds so much better than the one it replaced. If needed, Yamaha support is excellent as well; they're available 24/7, even on weekends.

Our light strobes for about 3 seconds when the bell is rung and then it goes off. Is this for hearing impaired?

Patient DOES NOT wear the sensor. The sensor is either hung up or placed directly on a solid surface. It will go off when the barrier line has been broken and is quite sensitive, even in low light environments. The receiver is very loud, and might need to be covered to lower the volume, as there is no volume control. The great part is that it is loud enough to wake even the most sound sleeper. Prior to using this unit, you will want to test the placement and direction of angle, to have an accurate location and angle to accomplish your goal. My father has alzheimer's and this worked great with his night time wandering, until he was more recently placed in a memory care facility. Patient DOES NOT wear the sensor.

My mother at 101 is both deaf and blind. Sometimes she will lift up the clock and put it near her ear to hear what it says but she can hear it.

If you turn the light on, yes. If not, you'll have to get real close to be able to read it. The thing with this unit is that it is pretty loud. Loud enough that I had to remove it from my living room because the noise was bothering me.

I know that you can turn the sound way up. I guess it depends on how your hearing is impaired. Hope it works for you!

My hearing loss is pretty bad. what I have done is place my timer on the countertop with nothing close by to absorb the vibrations, and therefore I can hear it just fine even with the wife listening to TV.I tested the signal while in the bedroom and was able to know it was running. It is small enough to put in my pocket if there are several people talking at once.

Not a speaker, however, they make a unit called a Lamp Controller (STI-30104) this plugs into the receiver and also plugs into the wall. This is normally used to turn on a lamp for a deaf person to know there is someone coming up the drive. I am sure you could plug in something that will make noise, like a radio or something for the times you are outside.

I also have the same question as the first couple of posts. My husband is hearing impaired and it is hard to watch TV with him having the volume so loud. So, if we have our TV hooked up to a reciever and get him a wireless head set and hook the head set up to the TV will we both be able to watch TV and each be able to control the volume to suit each of us?

I have one of these. It is an LED with no bulb. The batteries that come with it do not last long. You will need to get hearing aid batteries as replacement.

No and no. It can not be set to answer when picked up and I wouldn't recommend it for an elderly person. The buttons aren't large, it's easy to forget to push the end call and then it won't ring the next time, and the set-up is a little challenging. I bought a set for the aesthetics. They work fine but I still haven't been able to get them to stop blinking without resetting all of my other settings to default.
