When you think of an alarm clock, you probably think about the blaring noise that pulls you away from your dreams each and every morning. While that is a perfectly good use for an alarm, these versatile tools have a lot more to offer us. Changing the way that you use alarms can help us to get the most out of our days, particularly for the elderly, and it can improve how we feel about them too! In this article, we will explore how to use alarms in a way that gives you the most benefits.
The History of the Alarm Clock
The majority of us use alarms to simply wake up in the morning, and that is fine. The modern alarm clock was made for this purpose, but alarm clocks have a much bigger role in our history. The original alarm clock was the candle clock, and it was made using wax and metal nails. The wax was measured out evenly with the nails so that when a nail fell, it alerted the owner to the passing of time. A metal ball or nail was often used to wake a person up when the wax melted enough to release it, but they weren’t just used for a morning alarm. They were used to indicate the passage of time, and remembering that can change how you use your alarm clock.
Additional Ways to Use Alarms
There are so many different ways to use alarm clocks, particularly for the elderly. If you are hard of hearing, there is a good chance that a simple reminder app won’t do. With our alarm clock, you can adjust the volume up to 90 decibels, with an option of a speaker jack to make it even louder, and set multiple voice reminders so you always stay on top of your day.
Medication Reminders
Most seniors know the importance of taking medication on time. When you use medications to help improve your life ensures that you receive the medical care that you need. It is vital to keep to a schedule, particularly when you are managing multiple medications. Setting alarms to remind you to take your medication and making sure you get them is essential. Our clock is designed to ensure that they are loud enough to be heard, clear enough to be seen, and the alarms go long enough to not be missed because we know how important it is to ensure that daily medicines are not forgotten.
Appointment Reminders
When you’re living the retired life, it is easy to forget your appointments and what day it is. One day can often blend into the next, which is why you sometimes need a reminder to get back on schedule. Setting an alarm to remind you of an upcoming appointment can make sure that you remain punctual. Additionally, our talking day clock helps you to remember what day it is by providing that information in a bold and easy-to-read font.
Loving Reminders

The choices are endless.
