Smart Home Technology For People With Hearing Loss

Smart Home

Smart home is a modern home, where technology products, such as lighting, TV etc. can be automatically controlled from a distance and from anywhere with an internet connection, using a computer, a smart speaker or a smart mobile phone.

Hearing Loss

Hearing loss is the loss of hearing in one or both ears, in any degree.

Smart Devices

  • TVs

Smart Google Fiber TV includes special accessibility characteristics which are available to people without the need for any special equipment.

Closed captions make television programming more accessible to the hearing impaired. Closed captions are available with the Fiber TV service and in the built-in applications.

Moreover, you can turn closed captions on or off and set various formatting options for closed captions on your Fiber TV. Also, you can turn closed captions on or off for any show using the Fiber TV app for Android and iOS.

  • Security Systems

A regular security system calls the police or raises an alarm when it’s triggered. A smart system does this, but it also sends an alert to your mobile phone or hearing aid.

If carbon monoxide or smoke is detected, it will similarly alert you and the appropriate authority. It can flicker the house’s lights on and off, if you are asleep and need to act quickly.

  • Lighting

If you have hearing loss and somewhat rely on lip reading, then a darkened room might not be the best environment to talk in. Smart lighting can be dimmed and brightened through the owner’s mobile phone, without even having to stand up.

It’s not just for talking, either. Like we said above, your lights can flicker on and off in the event of an emergency etc.

  • Doorbells

Smart doorbells, when pressed, use the house’s lights rather than sound to alert their owners to the arrival of someone.

Furthermore, this smart technology can also connect to the owner’s mobile phone, sending an alert. They can also come with video feeds, allowing you to communicate with your visitor using sign language.

If your hearing aid can connect to the internet, you can actually set it up so that you receive an audio alert in your hearing aids when a visitor rings your bell, no matter where you are.

  • Hearing Aids

Smart Hearing Aids can connect to their own applications. They can help you do stream phone calls, audiobooks, and music, as well as check on the status of the hearing aid battery or locate your lost hearing aids on a map etc. actions.
