Five reasons to love
our doorbells…
1.
They’re not just louder than standard models; they
can also flash.
2.
You’re alerted by a portable receiver unit, so you’re
bringing the sound closer.
3.
There’s no wiring! Take them with you around
the house.
4.
Some models can add extra receivers for
other rooms.
5.
Some models can add extra bell-pushes in case you
have more than one door that people use.
How do they work?
They come in two parts: the button that your visitor presses; and the receiver unit that alerts you. There are several options to consider:
Portable doorbells: battery
powered so you can take the receivers into the garden. Batteries last about one year depending on usage.
‘Plug-in’ doorbells:
simply plug these into your electrical sockets.
Telephone and doorbell alerts:
these will alert you to the phone ringing as well as the doorbell.
Paging systems (see page 20):
all-in-one devices that alert you to the doorbell/intercom, telephone, smoke alarm, and baby alarm.
How do you choose? • Do you just want to be
alerted to the doorbell, or do you miss the phone too?
• Why not consider a flashing light? A really loud doorbell may disturb others.
• Are you happy to move the receivers around the house, or would you rather have two or three in different rooms?
• Do you want to be alerted in the garden? If so, you’ll need a portable doorbell.
• Would you prefer not to replace batteries? Buy a plug-in doorbell or one with a mains adaptor instead.

Our alarm
clocks are
designed to
wake you in
three ways…
1. They all vibrate.
Most do this via a pad that goes under your pillow. With most of our travel clocks, the whole clock vibrates!
2. Loud alarm.
Many of our clocks are louder than standard high street models. Some enable you to adjust the tone.
3. They flash!
Some clocks have a bright flashing strobe to wake you without disturbing others.
Top six things to look for…
1. How do you like to be woken?
2. Is the snooze function long enough for you?
3. Can you see the time clearly?
4. Do you want it to alert you to other sounds, such as the telephone and/or doorbell (see paging system on page 20)? 5. Do you want battery backup? 6. Do you want an analogue display, or digital?
A very loud alarm!
Good, large digits. I’ll
recommend to my friends.

Add extra transmitters (see pages 22-23) to be alerted to your doorbell, telephone, and baby crying, so that you’ve got everything on one system. • Up to 200m range

Instant peace of mind with our
flashing and vibrating smoke
alarms – they’ll alert you or
your loved one, day or night…
There are several options to choose from:
• Ionisation detectors are particularly sensitive to
free-burning fires – imagine a chip pan in flames. They’ll detect it before the smoke starts to thicken.
• Heat detectors, as the name suggests, detect heat, rather
than smoke. People usually add them to an existing system.
• Optical detectors are effective at detecting slow-burning
fires – like your wiring overheating. And they’re less likely to go off when you’re cooking.
• Carbon monoxide detectors alert you to dangerous levels
of carbon monoxide coming from gas fires, boilers etc.

How to listen...
These are fantastic, portable products that help you hear
more clearly, whether or not you have hearing aids.
Benefits
• Enhance the volume and clarity of conversations and other sounds
• Reduce background noise, which can be particularly distracting when wearing hearing aids
• Suitable for most situations
• Allow you to adjust the high and low tones (bass and treble) to suit your particular type of hearing loss.
Simply point the conversation amplifier in the direction you want to listen, and it amplifies the sound and transfers it directly to your hearing aids or ears, via a variety of options:
• Headphones, earbuds and stethosets (if you don’t have hearing aids)
• Ear hooks and neckloops (if you have hearing aids with a T setting, also known as a loop setting).
Controlling the direction
of sound
Directional microphones: These
pick up sound from the direction the amplifier is pointing to, while reducing sounds from all other directions.
Omni-directional microphones:
Some amplifiers allow you to switch from the directional microphone to one that’s omni-directional. This means you’ll be able to pick up amplified sound from all around; helpful when you want to hear several sounds at once – for example, when you’re chatting with two or three people in a quiet room.
Tone control
All our conversation amplifiers can adjust the high and low
tones (bass and treble) to suit your particular type of
hearing loss.
Digital sound vs analogue
Some amplifiers use digital technology to process and amplify the sound which gives better sound quality with reduced acoustic feedback (a whistling sound on high volume levels) and less background noise.
Listening to the TV
Conversation amplifiers can also be used for hearing the TV, although the ideal products for TV listening are on pages 35–36. To improve the sound further, some models have a TV kit. This is a cable that runs from the conversation amplifier to the TV and either plugs into the TV or comes with a microphone that you place next to the TV.
If you wear a pacemaker, speak with your GP and your pacemaker supplier before using a neckloop.
Elite listeners
We also offer a range of elite conversation amplifiers (see pages 29–31). These are wireless and are ideal when you are out and about and need to hear conversation at a distance, for example at dinner parties, meetings, presentations and lectures. They can also be used at home for listening to the TV.
L322 Crescendo 50/1 with stethoset
Large controls make adjusting volume and tone easy. 4m microphone lead makes listening to the TV easier. Loop-listening facility allows people without hearing aids to use loop systems (See page 37 for more on loops). • Tone control

Elite listeners bring
all the benefits of a
conversation amplifier
(see page 27), but they
really come into their
own in those more
challenging situations.
They come with a powerful transmitter which means you can hear from up to 30 metres away. When someone speaks into the transmitter, the sound is picked up by your receiver – which amplifies the sound. So they’re just the ticket if you’re:
• In a large group, sitting round a table. Put the transmitter in
the middle of the table and you’ll be able to hear what people are saying at the other end.
• Listening to a presentation.
You’ll be able to hear the lecturer, tour guide, or your boss, as clearly as if they were standing next to you.
• Watching TV. Place the
transmitter next to the TV and relax as the sound is wirelessly transmitted straight to you. • Out and about shopping,
at an exercise class or down the pub.

Reasons for a neckloop...
Neckloops and ear hooks are used by people
with hearing aids that have a T setting (also
known as a loop programme). They help
you hear sounds more clearly without being
distracted by background noise. They’re
used with products like MP3 players and
conversation amplifiers.
A neckloop goes round your neck, a bit like
a necklace; and ear hooks hook over your ear,
next to your hearing aid. Choose the method
you prefer – they both do the same job.

L416 TV2400 TV listenerHow do
you choose?
Here are some of the other functions
to look out for – see which one might
be right for you:
• Tone control enables you to boost or reduce the bass and treble to suit your hearing loss.
• Some TV listeners can charge your battery when in use.
• With some stethoset models you can control the volume for each ear. You can’t do this with neckloop products, unless you plug in headphones.
• If you’re unable to hear in one ear, you’ll find a ‘mono’ setting useful. This makes all the sounds go through both sides (stereo settings send some sounds through one ear, and some through the other).
• Most are plugged into an ‘audio out’ socket on your TV while some also have a microphone you place next to the TV speaker.
Note. If you wear a pacemaker, talk to your GP – and your pacemaker supplier – before using TV listeners with neckloops.
TV listeners
that connect
directly to your
TV’s ‘audio out’
sockets will give
the best possible
sound quality.
TV listeners
help you
hear the TV
more clearly.
There are two types:
A neckloop so you
can hear your TV
more clearly through
your hearing aid on
the T setting, and a
stethoset if you don’t
wear hearing aids.
Why we like them
• They’re wirefree, so you won’t trip up over trailing cables
• You can set the volume that’s right for you – without disturbing anyone else!
• The sound goes straight to your ears, blocking out background noise
• You can move around while listening to the TV or radio.
Short range vs long range • Short-range infrared
listeners – for use within
the room
• Long-range radio frequency listeners that operate up
to 100m away. Ideal if you want to listen to music or the news in the garden, or keep up with the match commentary while putting the kettle on.

Excellent! I was always
concerned I was

Reasons to
use a loop...
Loops are for people
who wear hearing aids
with a T setting.
They normally consist of an amplifier and a cable that goes around the perimeter of your room and plugs back into the amplifier. The amplifier then plugs into a ‘sound source’ (like your TV), and you can also attach a small microphone for conversations. The electrical current in the loop produces a magnetic field that sends sound directly to your hearing aids when they are switched to the T setting (also known as a loop programme).
L415 Digital to analogue converter
Ideal if your loop and any TV listening system isn’t compatible with newer, digital TVs. Simple to plug in; full instructions supplied. • 1.8m mains lead
