Talking Alarm Clocks - A Necessity for the Vision Impaired!
When my husband lost his vision in 1988, we quickly learned that a talking watch and/or talking alarm clocks would be a requirement, not a luxury! In those days, the internet was still a mystery to me. I got on the telephone and started making calls until I found a wonderful little talking watch!
Yes, the talking watch now announces the time. Not only that, my husband can push a button and know exactly what time it is. What a huge aid to his independence!
As the years have gone by, we have gradually discovered talking alarm clocks and other helpful items. If you have a friend or relative who is visually impaired, please let them know about these aids.
We did not realize talking alarm clocks were so readily available until one Christmas, when a friend bought one for my husband. What a super gift! I am daily thankful for the inventors and sellers of these small items that make such a huge difference in our lives! The vast array of products for the blind continues to grow year after year.

Personal note -- I purchased this clock for our house recently. And I really am enjoying it! My favorite thing is waking up and seeing the clock without my glasses on!

- I can only imagine how hard it was to find a talking watch or clock then, we forget how easy the internet has made it to get hold of anything we want whenever we want it. There are so many people who rely on simple things to make their life just a little bit easier and independent. I hope this helps people who really need it. Lensrolled to my "Adaptive clothing, making dressing easier for the elderly and disabled." lens. Nice work.

- Excellent idea, I think these clocks will help so many with reduced sight and not only the blind, since eyeglasses and contact lenses aren't worn at night.
