Are there Smoke Alarms for people with hearing impairment?
Many people whose hearing is not severely impaired are still able to hear a conventional smoke alarm. It is a good idea to interconnect two or more alarms – in this way, smoke detected in the living room will set off another alarm in the bedroom. Smoke alarms can be interconnected using twin core wire. For people who would not be able to hear a conventional smoke alarm there are special Smoke Alarms for the Deaf or Hard of Hearing available which make use of a vibrating pad and/or a flashing light in addition to the audible warning.
