<div><br></div><div>This will be my choice. I hope because its hard to find one for the deaf that dosen't cost me my arm and both my legs. I still have to email them about the silence thing. I have to make sure I can shut it off altogether. No sense in scaring the wee jees out of the neighbors....you know what I mean? I don't know if I need the smoke part but I can always shut it off if I'm cooking something. I believe this can be run on batteries but it only says back up so I have to be asking them that too.

It seems they make the alarms more for a family than a single deaf person. I need one on batteries and just uses light. <div> I did find this.</div><div><a href="http://www.assistech.com/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?preadd=action&key=SCCOSTROBE" target="_blank">http://www.assistech.com/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?preadd=action&key=SCCOSTROBE</a></div><div>Maybe if I just used it at night? Its a lot of money but I don't want to fool with this stuff.</div>
Our CO detector is run off 4 aa's and works well, has a digital display giving parts per million of CO so I can tell at any time if one of our appliances is generating anything at all. It was about $30 I believe.<div><br></div><div> I realize it isn't a strobe model, but I am thinking that it wouldn't be too terribly difficult to add a strobe DIY style. Not necessarily built into that unit, rather a separate battery run strobe that was in the best place to wake you up and was signaled by the electric current used in the audible alarm. There may even be something like that available already. Who knows, maybe even can trigger from the audible alarm noise?</div>

The original CO detector in my RV was long dead but still draining the 12v system, and the AA powered one just expired. (They are good for 7 years.) I'm going to use another AA powered one as a replacement -- there seems to be two brands available. ($15-$25)<br><br><br>

You know Im starting to think I may not be able to use one. Now what I may do is get a regular one and see if maybe if I can hear it. Im not totally deaf you know so maybe I can hear it at . I'll buy it locally so I can return it if necessary. I may be able to use the really loud ones.<div>Edit ...As I was still looking on Amazon look what I found!!! EXPENSIVE but it may work. </div><div> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Safeawake-Vib...=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1318158983&sr=8-5" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Safeawake-Vib...=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1318158983&sr=8-5</a></div><div><br></div><div>This also looks good although it says its only for fire.</div><div><a href="http://www.marilynelectronics.com/L...e-Alarm-and-Clock-HC-LIFETO-p/hc-lifetone.htm" target="_blank">http://www.marilynelectronics.com/L...e-Alarm-and-Clock-HC-LIFETO-p/hc-lifetone.htm</a></div><div><br></div>
