One of the complaints of advancing age is an often limited range of hearing. Many people over 50 experience hearing loss in the higher frequencies, and the higher pitched frequencies are exactly where the alarms on watches are located.
This problem combination was rather hilariously brought home to us recently while speaking to a group of Parkinson’s people. In a one hour period we watched the same charade over and over again: a beeping alarm watch set to remind someone that it was "time for meds'. The beeping went on until the person’s wife nudged him and hissed, 'your watch is beeping. Turn it off and take your pills'. Then two aisles forward it happened again, then seven aisles back, it would happen again...
Sadly, the alarm watches all have very high pitched tones, and it seems only wives can hear them! A solution was brought to our attention, and we thought you would like to know about it. There are watches that vibrate instead of beep.
