Hi!
I am a hearing impaired individual since birth. My mom is 83 and has lost most of her hearing. We are looking for a Life Alert for deaf people. The current life alerts or medical alerts say person can push a button if they need something and an operator will come on and ask them if they are ok. Well, since she cannot hear, she will not know to answer the operator. They say in this instance, they will call the people on the list and then 911 if they cannot get a hold of contacts. I was just wondering if there was another option as my mother would be mortified if 911 came and she had pushed the button by accident. Seems like there should be another option. Any ideas?
