Jeez that must make life hard. I find a light tap on the arm, shoulder,, or knee (if sitting in car) is the easiest way of doing things. The light switch act does work if I am alone in a room and someone is way across at the door.
My dear departed mother had a rather offputting habit of waving her fork at me if we were at the table. Biggest prob was she also did it to my hearing sister who is 18 years younger, boy did that pee her off no end.....lol
