I am hard of hearing. Is there any ampifier to boost the alarm signal?

The unit itself is quite loud though. Annoying sometimes when my roomates get home and I'm upstairs trying to sleep. It wakes me up.

Hi I don't think so. I have this alarm also and I do not know any way to mute the alarm. Thanks for asking Frank

I also missed the instructions when I slid the unit from the carton. I again looked at the carton and found the instructions. The ear amplifier is only good for the TV. I cannot hear most other conversations.

It's pretty high pitched. I have trouble hearing it. It would be a great alarm if "alert" was lower frequency and a bit louder.

This outdoor version I have has alarm contacts. Depending on your audio source, you should be able to either wire direct or through a relay.

I also can hear it from another room. It has a middle to high frequency, which helps. By way of comparison, I *cannot* hear my oven alarm which is raspy and lower pitched unless I am nearby.

Most any 12 volt transformer will do the trick. These sirens don't require many amps to operate to capacity. I'm sure Radio Shack could fix you right up or any alarm supplier.

There is no way to adjust the volume of this alarm. It is all or nothing, and would definitely be too loud. However, it is possible with this specific device to only blink the light. It shows up as a fader (I use it with Nexia) and setting it to 1% will only make the light flash with no audible alarm.

you might have to add a spacer to adjust the levels to be even. perhaps some thick double sided foam tape might work. fyi: the tone (sound) was not loud enough for me...I have uninstalled the product. I am hearing impaired, so it might be loud enough for someone else. easy to use product. Note: the alarm is deafening, even for me.

Seem as they are all broken I don't remember. There is a on off switch for sound so I just wanted a visual. I never used the audible alarm. But like I said, none of them work as all failed.

Check the lin-technologies.com website. They have an "action Ear" that will work very well in your application. It has cut-off for any sound above 90dB.

Yes. Add that with the booster, you better not be holding it close to your ear or fine crystal. :-)

I have a profound hearing loss and wear BTE Aids. There is a volume control button on the Jitterbug Phone that enables enhanced hearing.

No there is not. You will have to adjust the volume using the device you are connected to. Cheers.

Yes. The volume can be adjusted from mute to annoying loud. However, for proper installation, I recommend adding either the wired or wireless siren. The siren will only go off when the alarm has been triggered. This way the sound is audible to everyone outside.

Sounds defective. I dont think there was a way to silence the alarm otherwise.

I do not use it any more. The alert is not loud enough. I purchased it for using it in shopping mall, airport, or other public areas, where a lot of noises are present. In many places, I even cannot hear the alter because the noise surrounding me. The alert is loud enough when I was testing it at home or in our neighborhood.
