I had been asked to do a Seminar on our products &ndash; well Raising Furniture Remotely to be exact and as we are in the midst of a horrific pandemic, the seminar was going to be a Webinar.</p> <p>I was so nervous. I know my product and what I wanted to say but it is so weird doing a Webinar when you know people are watching but you can&rsquo;t gauge their reactions or see any of them. What if no one logged on to watch? Or what if I fell over!!?</p> <p>I set everything up and ran through it &ndash; the sound quality wasn&rsquo;t very good! Luckily I was able to do it in the showroom at Head Office but it was so empty that there was a massive echo. We dragged furniture around to try and muffle it and got the camera set up. Then we waited&hellip; and Oh My Word!!! So many people logged on to listen!! 422 to be exact with over 1000 people registering!</p> <p>I am so happy and overwhelmed by the response! Thank you to everyone who logged on to watch &ndash; I hope that you all took something away with you and that I was some help.</p> <p>Special thank you to Stuart Barrow and his team at OTAC and Promoting Independence for suggesting I do this and hosting it.</p> <p>I think sometimes you just have to come out of your comfort zone and get on with it. I enjoyed it immensely and hope to do more in the future.</p> <p>If you did watch this afternoon &ndash; apologies for the sound &ndash; promise it will be better next time! And please if you have any questions don&rsquo;t hesitate to email enquiries@gordonellis.co.uk</p> urn:store:2:blog:post:68 https://www.safeandsoundproducts.net/rumour-has-it Rumour has it.... <p><strong>Rumour has it&hellip;..</strong></p> <p>So, the country is in lockdown and unfortunately there are many businesses in our industry that have had to shut their doors or reduce deliveries to keep their staff and business safe.</p> <p>Some of us are in the lucky position where we can continue to work because we manufacture and produce products which are helping people either get of hospital quicker or stay in their homes safe and away from this horrific virus.

Many people live with unaddressed hearing loss, and this can pose a high cost for the global economy and significantly impact the lives of those affected. In 2017, the WHO aim to build awareness of the cost-effective interventions that are available to address hearing loss.</span></p> <p><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> World Hearing Day 2017 highlights actions which can be undertaken by decision-makers to address hearing loss. Screening for early identification, rehabilitation through hearing devices, captioning, prevention and sign language are amongst the strategies which can help to improve the understanding of hearing loss and its consequences.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">WHO have produced a brochure addressing this year&rsquo;s theme, which we think makes interesting reading.

The condition is very common with 30% of people experiencing tinnitus at some point in their life and approximately 10% of the UK population live with persistent tinnitus.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Everybody's experience of tinnitus is different. You might hear different types of sound, for example ringing, buzzing, whooshing or humming. The noise may be low, medium or high‑pitched. There may be a single noise, or two or more components. The noise may be continuous or it may come and go.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Although&nbsp;the exact cause of tinnitus is not known, we do know that it is not a disease or an illness. It is generally agreed that tinnitus results from some type of change, either mental or physical.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Although tinnitus can be found in people with normal hearing it is more common in people who have hearing loss or other ear problems. It is estimated that up to 30% of people with hearing loss suffer with tinnitus.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Safe and Sound Products is supporting <strong>Tinnitus Awareness Week</strong> which runs from 6 &ndash; 12 Feb 2017 and more information can be found <strong><a href="https://www.tinnitus.org.uk/taw2017">here</a>&nbsp;</strong>on the British Tinnitus Association Website.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">If you suffer from hearing loss please take a look at our online shop <strong><a href="https://www.safeandsoundproducts.net/hearing">here</a></strong>&nbsp;where we have a wide range of products which could help with your daily living needs.&nbsp;</span></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> urn:store:2:blog:post:43 https://www.safeandsoundproducts.net/5-reasons-to-choose-a-sasp-telephone 5 Reasons to Choose a SASP Telephone <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Getting to the telephone can be a task in itself; trying to find it down the side of the sofa, or running from one side of the house to another when it is ringing. But when you&nbsp;have a hearing impairment&nbsp;this can be made even more difficult; not only is it difficult to hear the ring, but when you have to make a call it can be difficult to hear the speaker on the other end.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">SASP understand these challenges, so they offer a range of telephones designed for people who are deaf or have hearing impairments. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">They have a number of great features to alert you of calls, and allow you to easily understand the speaker:</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">1. <strong>An extra loud adjustable ringer</strong> &ndash; This allows users to adjust the setting depending on the level of their hearing. This helps them hear the ring wherever they are in the house, and even turn it down in the evenings when they wish to sleep.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">2. <strong>Bright flash ringer</strong> &ndash; The bright light flashes when the telephone is ringing helping to alert those with reduced or no hearing when they can&rsquo;t hear the ring.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">3. <strong>Large buttons</strong> &ndash; Allowing for easier navigation and dialling, the telephones feature large backlit buttons. It also has the option for Talk Back, giving a clear voice of each number when pressed.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">4.<strong> Compatible with hearing aids</strong> &ndash; Our products feature belt clips and lanyards and are expandable with up to 5 handsets.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">5. <strong>Textlink Textphone</strong> &ndash; This product allows those with a full hearing impairment to easily make calls using a text feature rather than spoken communication. The conversation is displayed on a screen, allowing the user to easily understand and reply to telephone conversations.&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><img src="/Content/Images/uploaded/SASP/SS-10504.JPG" alt="" width="310" height="232" />&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="/Content/Images/uploaded/SASP/SS-10505.JPG" alt="" width="356" height="267" /></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Corded Amplified Telephone &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;SASP Wireless Telephone Ringer and Doorbell</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><img src="/Content/Images/uploaded/SASP/SS-10503 - Copy 1.JPG" alt="" width="316" height="210" />&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="/Content/Images/uploaded/SASP/SS-10520.jpg" alt="" width="291" height="194" /></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Cordless Amplified Telephone &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Textlink 9100 Textphone</span></p> urn:store:2:blog:post:44 https://www.safeandsoundproducts.net/benefits-of-having-an-induction-loop-in-your-home Benefits of Having an Induction Loop in Your Home <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">An induction loop is a type of sound system designed for use by people with hearing aids. It provides a magnetic, wireless signal that can be picked up by hearing aids when they are set to the &lsquo;T&rsquo; (Telecoil) setting.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Domestic Induction Loops include a cable which is placed around the specific area (e.g. lounge or bedroom) and transmits the sound as a magnetic field which is received by your hearing aid. They are useful to hear conversations or sounds from the TV or music players.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt;">So why use an induction loop system?</span></strong></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">- The sound is transmitted directly to the hearing aid with no need for a receiver/headset.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">- They cut out any unwanted background noise, allowing clear noise to be heard through the hearing &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;aid device.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">- Can be used by anyone with a compatible hearing aid, with any number of users using the system &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;at the same time.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">- It is cost effective and discreet.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">- As they are not wired to any device, you can walk around and listen to your sound source from anywhere within the loop.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Our SASP induction loops are compatible with a range of items, including; TV&rsquo;s, fire alarms, doorbells, security systems and microphones.&nbsp; Our induction loops are designed to be discrete and fit easily into any setting. They are available in a range of sizes making them ideal for the domestic setting; particularly living rooms and study rooms.&nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><img src="/Content/Images/uploaded/SASP/10349 - Sarabec LA240.jpg" alt="" width="290" height="250" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="/Content/Images/uploaded/SASP/10353LRS - Copy 1.jpg" alt="" width="332" height="227" /></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Sarabec LA240 Induction Loop System &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; PDA 102R Induction Loop Amplifier Kit</span></p> urn:store:2:blog:post:41 https://www.safeandsoundproducts.net/vibrating-alarm-clocks-making-your-mornings-a-little-easier Vibrating Alarm Clocks - making your mornings a little easier. <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Getting up in the morning is always difficult, even if you&rsquo;re the lightest of sleepers, the annoying tone of that alarm clock can&rsquo;t seem to drag your from your cosy warm bed.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you have a hearing impairment, this can be made even more difficult.
