It lasted a long time before it broke and isn’t made anymore. <\/p>\nBUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!<\/p>\n
One advantage to being deaf is that when I take my cochlear implant and hearing aid off, I can’t hear a damn thing. On the flip side, this means I can’t hear an alarm clock.<\/p>\n
This is when having a hearing husband comes in handy! Literally. A gentle nudge by my partner is the best way to wake up. Hear THAT, Folgers?<\/p>\n
But what if he’s out of town or I am? Then it’s time to bring out my special alarm clock that vibrates. This is the one I used to have; it clipped onto my pillow case and worked great. It lasted a long time before it broke and isn’t made anymore. <\/p>\n

Every. Second.<\/p>\n
BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!<\/p>\n
Let me tell you, this is NOT a pleasant way to wake up. In fact, when I need to use it, for some reason I can’t sleep at all. Even if I’m super duper tired. Like my body is rebelling: “That damn clock! We’ll wake you up naturally by not letting you sleep at all!”<\/p>\n
