How does a someone deaf wake up in the morning?

[ndee]

Like.... he lives alone and no one is there to wake him up. How can het get up at 7am for example?

 

[Hammer]

a bright light on a timer

 

[MainFramed]

good question, maybe they just wake up when they wake up? or maybe the dog hears the aram clock and wakes em up?

 

[Whisper]

My guess would be some type of lighted alarm clock, along with possible vibration or some such thing.

 

[Jzero]

They use lights and vibration.

 

[AstIsis]

Some of them also have companion dogs which will wake them up when the alarm sounds.

 

[monk3y]

Vibrating cell phone? I really don't know.

 

[Electric Amish]

Normal alarm clock and a companion animal...?

amish

 

[ndee]

So they actually wake up their companion animal?

 

[vi edit]

They have a vibrating alarm clock that they put in their pillows.

Seriously! My wife used to date a guy that was legally deaf and that's how he woke up for college classes.

Yeah.

I've seen examples of deaf people having dogs that will alert them if someone knocks at the door or if the phone rings, so they could probably do this as well.

TTY service, you call a certain number and talk to an operator who types in your words, then it appears on a device at the deaf guy's place.

Most dont use a traditional phone. They use 1 of two things. A relay service or a TTY machine. A relay service is basially this. They call a number with their TTY machine and talk to a live operator. The operator then calls the person they want to talk to. A TTY machine is basically a modem like typing machine. Basically it works like AIM/MSN/ICQ.

I wonder if a TTY operator has ever had to type in a phone sex conversation.

A good question that can be answered by ndee is how a moron wakes up in the morning.
