Deafgard

The Equality Act 2010 states that service providers such as hoteliers and suppliers of sleeping accommodation are legally obliged to make reasonable adjustment for the disabled, which includes deaf and hard of hearing people.
In the event of fire, deaf or hard of hearing people might not be able to hear the fire alarm, especially when they are asleep. This is a high risk, life threatening situation. Deafgard enables deaf and hard of hearing people to be made aware when the fire alarm sounds whilst they are sleeping.
Deafgard is a battery powered, wireless unit with a pad attachment that simply goes under the pillow of the sleeping person. Deafgard is listening for a continuous fire alarm of 75dBA or higher. When the fire alarm sounds the pillow pad vibrates, high intensity LED lights flash and an LCD screen displays 'fire'.

The sounder bell in the video was traditional ringing bell type. Will this work with the new digital tone sounders???

In this case, the Deafguard is looking for a continuous noise over a set decibel level rather than a specific sound. That means that as long as a digital sound is continuous and loud enough, it won't make a difference. It is important to do an alarm test and ensure the unit is responding when you first get a Deafgard as you are able to adjust the sensitivity to your sounders.
