Responding to a Need
Thirty years ago I began building a light-flashing signal system to help my grandmother. Even when I was a child, my grandmother had very little hearing. By the time I was a teenager, she couldn't hear anything at all. Constantly worried that she would not hear if her loved ones called or visited, she felt isolated and frightened.
Having experimented with electronics since I was seven years old, I was determined to make something to help her. What I first came up with was a system that flashed lights around her home in response to the doorbell, telephone, intercom and fire alarm system.
It was remarkable how such a simple device eased so much of the frustration of her daily life. Although that system was perfect for her, it required running wires all over her house and took almost a week to install. I knew that for others to benefit from what I had developed for my grandmother, a wireless, easy-to-install system was needed. Encouraged by my family, I founded Sonic Alert to produce these new systems.
After more than two years of additional research and development, I came up with our first product, the Sonic Alert System, which was unique enough to be awarded a United States Patent. Since that time Sonic Alert has continued to grow and we have expanded our product line to include the many items you will find in this catalog. I hope that our products can help you or your loved ones as much as they helped my grandmother.
