I have iPhone . What are the options for deaf/hard of hearing person getting alert on mobile phone while deaf/hard of hearing person is sleeping in night ? Loud sound is not the option for me .
Looking for recommendations/ideas
Thanks

Hi Nischal. My Dad was deaf/hard of hearing. He came up with a good solution. There are bed shaking devices available for sale on Amazon (and elsewhere) that will connect to your phone via bluetooth. The device goes under your pillow (or shoulders, whatever you prefer). Then if your phone rings, your bed will shake. It worked well for my Dad. I cannot recommend a specific unit but do an Amazon or Google/Shopping search. You will see several. Just be sure they work with your iPhone.
On a side note, there are also bluetooth devices that will start flashing bright lights when the phone rings. That was not enough to wake my Dad but he had one of these units set up in his TV room. There, he noticed the flashing.

Thanks for the updates.
if bed shaking device is connected through cable/wire then it will be good option for me.
How about Apple Watch , if I wear Apple Watch while sleeping in night , will it work and wake me up ?
Thanks

Good question. I am not hard of hearing and I am a pretty deep sleeper. The Apple Watvh’s vibration is enough to wake me up. It might be worth a try.
