So alarming you will love to hate it.
I have had the sonic boom clock for many years as I am hearing impaired. I switch the side button on at night and off in the morning.
Yes there is an off button on the clock but it IS too close to the other buttons-and the only way I use it is if I actually lift my head up from the pillow and look for it. Maybe that would not be so bad for some people to do. It Does get you up.
This clock works by having the vibrating circle inside your pillow. And it comes with a plug in lamp feature. PLUS it makes such an annoying sound that if you can hear without your hearing aids you want to jump right up and smash it. Also a good thing cause it gets you started in the morning.
You can also hit the snooze button which is easy to find.
And if you use it long enough you can just use the keypad by touch, which I have done. Even in the dark.
I am only upset that they no longer make this unit in black, since I am sending one to my cousin who also is hearing impaired and whose wife is sick and tired of waking him up.
One caution- Smile- if you put the vibrator in your pillow and it touches the headboard; expect the whole bed to vibrate. Something which my husband can’t stand.
I am so sorry to read that the person who was going to give his unit to goodwill. It would have been so much more useful to donate it to a Deaf and Hearing Center or find a group meeting for the Hearing Loss Association of America and give it to them.
There are so many hearing impaired and deaf people who cannot afford to buy one of these.

This alarm clock is easy to use right out of the box, and the vibrating feature works great. All of the buttons to control the time and alarm settings are right on the front of the alarm, and are easy and straightforward to set and control — you won’t even need to read the instructions! All of it’s alarm features (vibrating alarm, audible alarm, and blinking lamp control) are geared towards waking a person up.
I purchased this for my 14-year old, and he has been getting up every morning on his own since I set this next to his bed, and the beauty is, it doesn’t wake up my other 8-year old son who is sleeping in the same room.
I’ve only owned this clock for about 3-weeks, and so I can’t speak to it’s reliability, but comparatively, it is quite heavy and solid, and seems to be very well made.

My father has tinnitus (constant loud ringing in the ears) and hearing loss. This device has been useful not only as an alarm clock, but has function as the hub for various signaling devices. First off, the most important feature is the ability to select the frequency of the sounding device. My father cannot hear upper frequencies, so your typical electronic alarm is inaudible to him. This device can also be triggered by other devices besides wake-up time. For example, Sonic Alert sells a door bell module which will wirelessly make the alarm clock signal. I have also placed a Sonic Alert “baby monitor” close to the smoke detector. The noise of the detector which, again is high pitched and hard for him to hear, easily triggers the baby monitor which in turn wirelessly signals the alarm clock. I recently purchased a driveway monitor for my Dad as well (different manufacturer). Again, the hi-pitched chime was totally inaudible to him, but by installing it near the baby monitor, it caused that to ring the alarm clock.
Finally, you can purchase additional “Sonic Alert” remote horns which also feature an adjustable frequency output and put these in other locations in the house. Thus these horns, as well as this alarm clock, can be triggered by the Sonic Alert door bell module or baby monitor.

It works great. Helps get me up in time for work.
However, if you live in a crowded building with a lot of wireless users, make sure to set the remote receiver OFF.
I don’t know what’s doing it, but something is tramsmitting a signal which is waking me up – I thought there was a fire or something. (as with a smoke detector with a transmitter) By the pattern of vibration, it could be a cordless phone, it felt like some one was talking real fast through the bed shaker.

This is some great info. I have been searching for other products which can alert individuals who have hearing difficulties. I never knew that there were alarm clocks which specialized in this. Can you provide some more information regarding the 113db adjustable tone and volume control?

Great alarm clock. I understand it’s primarily for the hard of hearing. Although the novelty appeal will be very attractive to older kids.
