If the alarm is placed in the basement, it should easily be heard from the main floor of the house, even behind one or two closed doors. This of course depends on the type of construction, its size, the background noise and each person's hearing capability. Sound level is rated at 95 dB, which is above most such stand alone battery powered units.

It is almost impossible for a hearing person to know what it is like to be hard of hearing, just as it is equally difficult to know what it is like to be blind, or to suffer from any particular disability unless one lives with it. However, while it is possible to have some understanding based on education, experience and involvement with people with special needs, complete understanding comes from having lived with hearing loss and its isolating effects.

Hard of hearing people can obtain help in a number of ways; by visiting a hearing aid dealer, an audiologist or an E.N.T. (Ear, Nose, Throat Specialist). The policy of CHHA-NC is to refer people to their family doctor, who will usually send them to an E.N.T. if they are unable to help. The E.N.T.

The deaf or hard-of-hearing population is estimated by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. According to their 1990 and 1991 Health Interview Surveys, approximately 20 million persons, or 8.6 percent of the total U.S. population 3 years and older, were reported to have hearing problems (Table 1).* The elderly were more likely than any other age group to have hearing problems (Figure 1).

Anyone with a hearing loss ranging from mild to profound, whose usual means of communication is by speech, meaning that anyone can become hard of hearing. One person in ten is hard of hearing or about 50,000 people in Newfoundland and Labrador. However, as we age, the incidence of hearing loss increases so that by the time a person reaches the age of 65, there is almost a fifty percent (50%) chance that they will have some degree of hearing loss.

We recommend that an alarm clock be inspected and re-oiled every 2-3 years, especially if the clock is wound on a regular basis.

Noise-induced hearing loss is 100 percent preventable. You can protect your hearing by paying attention to noises above 90 decibels in loudness, which can damage your ears. These include lawnmowers, snowblowers, motorcycles, firecrackers, and loud music. Lower the volume on portable stereos and televisions. When you are involved in a loud activity, wear earplugs or other hearing protective devices. Be sure to protect children as well.

Among the most frequent complaints voiced by hearing aid users are that noise is amplified too much and that certain sounds become too loud for the user to bear. Some modern hearing aids contain sensors that allow the hearing aid to detect sounds exceeding a certain loudness level, and then self-adjust to reduce the amplification (gain) for those sounds.
