Baby Cry Alarm Borrowing Scheme  
Crying Baby
Deaf people and their families often have to pay a lot for special equipment. Visual smoke detectors, visual door alerts and equipment to decode television closed captions are just a few items every Deaf household needs.
   

The Deaf Society has a small stock of 7 Bellman brand VIsit Flash Baby Cry Alarms that are available to:

  • Deaf parents living permanently in NSW who have a profound hearing loss - these parents can borrow an alarm for up to 2 years. (NOTE: priority is given to Deaf parents of newborns).
  • Deaf grandparents or other Deaf relatives for "baby sitting" or short term care of children - these people may borrow an alarm on a strictly short term basis of not more than 2 weeks.

Each alarm has a flashing light and bed shaker.

Lending alarms is one way the Deaf Society hopes to make a small difference for Deaf parents; particularly those who cannot access the Program Appliances for Disabled People (PADP) administered by NSW Health.
