People Who Urgently Need the Life-Saving
Technology of the Lifetone HL™ Bedside Fire Alarm
Anyone concerned about nighttime fire safety can have greater peace of mind with the Lifetone HL Fire Alarm and Clock in their home. However there are certain people who face more danger from nighttime fires because they are less likely—sometimes much less likely—to be awakened by a standard smoke alarm signal:
|
|
|
|
 |
Children generally sleep more deeply than adults and are therefore less likely to wake up to a standard smoke alarm. | |
|
Heavy Sleepers |
|
|
|
Not surprisingly, anyone who is an especially heavy sleeper (including those who tend to fall asleep under the influence of alcohol) will also face higher risk in a nighttime fire. |
|
|
|
Seniors |
|
|
|
Seniors face special risk for two reasons: they are much more like to have some level of hearing loss and they generally have reduced mobility, increasing the time they need to escape a fire. |
|
|
People with Hearing Loss |
|
|
|
People with hearing loss will have a harder time hearing the high frequency sound of a smoke alarm. Sadly, the special strobe-light alarms often used for those with moderate to severe hearing loss are simply ineffective at waking them up. |
