My apologies for the absense. Going through the aftermath of a breakup and then Zane ate something he wasn't supposed to which meant emergency vet and now he's still having appointments since he's not 100% in the clear. #NoMoreCRAPtions shirts are available for one more week, so be sure to buy one if you haven't yet - bonfire.com/nomorecraptions If you wanna help support the channel/my work: BOOK ME » rikkipoynter.com COFFEE JAR » ko-fi.com/A740BFU PATREON » patreon.com/rikkipoynter MERCH » rikkipoynter.storenvy.com TWITCH » twitch.tv/RikkiPoynterPlays RU-vid AMAZON WISHLIST » amzn.to/2zvATyv #NoMoreCRAPtions SHIRTS » www.bonfire.com/nomorecraptions/

Sorry about the breakup, those are seldom fun. Our oldest cat Scooter, had dental work a few weeks ago and somehow didn't and isn't reacting well, she's off her food, her BP is up and she's lazing around with her mouth agape and tongue sticking out... :( Poor girl. And we're not sure about her vision lately either.

@vbrooke10 6 лет назад

Oh no! Hope Zane recovers quickly! You mentioned iPhone under the pillow, that’s me! I always get a sleepy arm every morning when I wake up from holding the phone to make sure I feel the alarm! 😵

@LadyTea 6 лет назад

That's terrible, all I can say is that it sucks but it will start to hurt less and less til it doesn't hurt anymore. And I hope your cute little little allergy factory is getting better. Hugs

@MellieLuisi2505 6 лет назад

I hope Zane gets well soon. So sorry about the breakup. My cat Zen has been a bit poorly lately. Think he may have a urine infection. But I've been unable to take him to the vets, because I have got a bad virus. I've had it over a month.

@rikkipoynter 6 лет назад

"cute little allergy factory" This made me laugh so hard LOL

@crystalvafiades8335 6 лет назад

I have been hearing impaired all my life (I'm 31), and I have never heard of these alarm clocks! I needed this years ago! I used my phone a few times, but like you said, it doesn't always work out right. I've been depending on my boyfriend to wake me up, because nothing works, but I'd rather be able to do that on my own...Anyway, Thank you for your video!

@LadyTea 6 лет назад

Crystal Vafiades have you tried hooking your phone to a stereo system set to max. Jk. I suggest you read reviews frist about bed shakers

@crystalvafiades8335 6 лет назад

starbuxed Well, of course! 😊

@RoganShannon13 6 лет назад

The alarm you have doesn't work for me, I am a HEAVY sleeper. So I have the massive "Massage Mate" bed shaker (I have no idea why it's called that, because it specifically says on the shaker itself that it's not to be used for massaging, only for wake-up), and it really does make it feel like an earthquake. I don't really use it right now though, since I don't have a set time I need to be up by. Interesting thing though, if I know there's something that I NEED to get up for, my body will be scarily good (most of the time) at waking up a hour or two before whatever the thing is without an alarm.

@Liblane1 6 лет назад

Rogan Shannon - Do you know if there is a link to what alarm you use? I’m especially interested in the kind of shaker you are currently using. I would love to see what kind of alarm you use. I need to use a heavy duty alarm and I’m so worried about not having a back-up for when my heavy duty shaker alarm (it’s not the little disc that is normally sold with Sonic Alerts) instead it’s like the size of a legal size of paper. The sad thing about my current heavy duty shaker is that I’m using right now is discontinued. I was wondering if it’s possible if you could find a link of where to buy your Massage Mate bed shaker? If you can’t find a link, is it possible of finding a picture of what the bed shaker looks like? If all this is too much for you too do, just let me know and I will completely understand. Thanks for taking time to read this message.

@RoganShannon13 6 лет назад

I think what I have is the same thing you're talking about, the product name is UTSS Heavy Duty 120V Bed Shaker (or at least I think it is).

@Liblane1 6 лет назад

Rogan Shannon - You are exactly right! I have the exact same one. I wish they were not discontinuing the bed shaker. So far, I haven’t found anything that is as big and as powerful to wake me up. Do you by any chance have any suggestions? I have plenty of the little white shakers that come with the Sonic Alert bed alarms. They don’t work. I have to find other ways (tricks) for it to alert me during the day. For when the doorbell is ringing, etc.

@rosieone4533 6 лет назад

It doesn't work for me either. I just sleep through it! My partner has to try and wake me, it REALLY annoys him at times.

@MrZero405 6 лет назад

I've had mixed results with alarm clocks. Often times when I have big appointment I tend to get anxious and worry I might miss the alarm going off. So what I've recently been doing is setting my phone next to my head and set it to buzz, make noise, and flash a bright light at my face. Which doesn't always make for the best morning lol.

@LadyTea 6 лет назад

MrZero405 fitbits. They have a built in vibe alarm. That's how I get up as a I can't tolerate severe changes in volume.

@CZ-dg7te 6 лет назад

Have you ever used a Fitbit watch? It has a vibrate alarm feature that my fiance and I use to not wake each other up since we have different times to get up.

@e4mi 6 лет назад

I LOVE using my fitbit. its sooo much easier

@meggerrsss 6 лет назад

I'm testing this one right now from the Canadian Hearing Society, and literally just this morning I slept through my entire shift because I didn't wake up on time for work. I'm surprised because it has woken me up the last few days. Next I'm going to test the sound+vibrate setting, since the hearing I have left is in the upper range. I do have the option to test the main, non-travel one though. Just thought it was funny that *just today* you release a review for a thing that didn't work for me this morning.

@harveyabel1354 6 лет назад

Or stick a lit candle in your ear, like Ed Wynn.

@meggerrsss 6 лет назад

I think my next step is getting one of those beds that tips you out by lifting one side all the way up.

@peters4144 6 лет назад

Somehow my body clock wakes me at the right time most mornings. I really dislike being startled awake by the shaker, panic sets in until I realize it's just the alarm. Tried the cellphone under the pillow, it falls on the floor or gets lost in the sheets. I suppose I could tape it to my chest or my face but that's a lot of tape and radiation.... I just need a human to shake my shoulder..."hey dummy, wake up!" Break-up's suck and so do pet emergencies. It's just a storm that soon shall pass. Awesome giveaway!

@tahkitten9 6 лет назад

This video reminds me of a throwback video of yours where you pranked a hearing friend by setting the alarm to go off without telling them. 😂 sudden earthquake!

@rikkipoynter 6 лет назад

It was just a video where I talked about it, right? I don't even I ever actually acted it out in a video though I did want to film a skit doing that lol

@tahkitten9 6 лет назад

Rikki Poynter Yeah, you just spoke about the incident but it was never acted out. A skit of that would be great

@Pedhee 3 года назад

I'm here for tho I wear off the hearing ads about I cant hear the clock

@priaa7934 6 лет назад

I lOVE my FITBIT HR !! It has a haptic vibration setting as an alarm. So it feels ticklish when it goes off and wakes me up enough to rouse me naturally.

@dianeverrochi6468 6 лет назад

Thanks for the disclaimer on the prank front. As someone with a complete phobia of earthquakes, that would be a VERY interesting wake-up.

@strawberrywheels 6 лет назад

i have an alarm for the deaf. it shakes my pillow and flashes at me bc i sleep thru alarms and the ones loud enough to wake me up cause me to wake up screaming 😅 (im not deaf or hoh tho)

@markgallaher6899 5 лет назад

I have had a bed vibrating and flashing light clocks that sadly stopped working along time ago, and I couldn't afford a new bed shaker clock, so I did use the loudest clock I could get but instead of waking me up it wakes the family up instead, and they turn the alarm off and don't bother waking me up, but I just got my sonic shaker clock last wednesday and it's ok and it beats the vibration on my phone under my pillow.

@queerstudbroalex 6 лет назад

I use Bellman, works very well!

@richardjones4018 2 года назад

My roommate was deaf and just used a really bright flood light on a timer.

@kellyrocks15 6 лет назад

I have the same travel alarm. But it doesn't want to stay attached to my pillow. So it's fallen on the floor too many times and the button is pushed in and doesn't work any more. I had the full size thing but my room is set up weird. I don't have an outlet near my bed so I was running an extension cord to the outlet then had the full sized alarm.

@tjranumable 6 лет назад

I find that flash alarm on my phone always wakes me up. However, the catch is that you have to be in a dark environment. I wish a company made an all inclusive alarm system for frequent deaf travelers. One that included a visual smoke alarm/co2 detector and an alarm clock function.

@user-lk9wy7hi1d 6 лет назад

I’m not deaf but I use a vibrating wrist alarm to make sure I don’t wake up my partner in the morning. It works amazing and has different vibrate levels. It’s the garmin vivosmart 3 fitness watch :) Battery lasts for 1-2 weeks

@hunterkarns3774 6 лет назад

I am deaf but also have hearing impairments, but I still wake up in the morning with no just like any other deaf person. I have never try the sonic alert but I did try a vibrating one than I broke it or accidentally put water or something like that so now I just depend on my fam waking me up for stuff like school

@LadyTea 6 лет назад

I use my alarm function on my fitbit. I also use the vibe function on my phone with a higher frequency song that slowly rises. I can't tolerate severe changes in volume now. It would be like waking up from a nightmare, jolted awake and just shaking in your bed. I been thinking about a bed shaker. But my fitbit works for now.

@rikkipoynter 6 лет назад

Interesting. I tried the alarm function on my Apple Watch once and slept through it lol... and it was right before a dinner at Apple Campus too.

@LadyTea 6 лет назад

Of course it doesnt work. lol. I am not sure I have always woken up either. But I rather it work sometimes rather than none of the time.

@kellyrocks15 6 лет назад

Mine goes off but mine is weird on the app it says 7:30am but it goes off at 9am like I want. I put in the app 9am and the fitbit will be an hour and half after. I've had my fitbit since January 20 2018

@chesnavitanovec7602 6 лет назад

Hope Zane feels better soon!! I have had the Sonic Boom and also tried the "Sharp Pillow Alarm". The pillow alarm doesn't work for me either. I stopped using the Sonic Boom alarm when I got my hearing dog.

@rikkipoynter 6 лет назад

Sharp Pillow... what an interesting name lol

@mehrunysanadeem 6 лет назад

I'm not deaf but alarm clocks give me anxiety so I wear this wrist band it'c called the Mi band and it just vibrates. It's like a watch I wear it all the time even when I go to bed. It vibrates and wakes me up. I think you should try it...

@Liblane1 6 лет назад

Unless I missed it what Sonic Alert alarm system do you use to wake yourself up? I’m very interested to hear all the tools you use to wake yourself up. I’m a very heavy sleeper. I also have to sleep with a AutoPAP (like a CPAP) machine that makes tons of noise so I can’t hear much and I also have to wake up at 3:30am to take medication every morning. So I’m very curious to see what you use. I’m very much a Sonic Alert user. I love that brand.

@rikkipoynter 6 лет назад

I don't have an exact link since there are multiple ones that look exactly like this, but essentially this one. www.sonicalert.com/Alarm-Clock-with-Super-Shaker-TM-p/sb200sseuusa.htm

@Liblane1 6 лет назад

Rikki Poynter - I was wondering if I could ask you more questions?... Do you use the little bed shaker disc that comes with the alarm or do you use a different bed shaker? Where do you put the bed shaker? The reason I’m asking is because the little bed shaker is not enough to wake me up and I was curious if there is something bigger and better to wake me up. I want to say thank-you for taking the time and energy to read and reply to my messages. I’m so thankful that I came across your videos.

@HelenavV_ 6 лет назад

I use the sonic boom kind of alarm, kind of cause i think it's not a sonic boom officially but it has one of those bed shakers and I use a Fitbit watch to wake me up. I've set them 5 mins apart so if I don't wake up from the Fitbit watch, I will definitely wake up from the bed shaker. Vibrations from my phone doesn't work at all nor the sounds from the phone or alarm. (Unless you need to set it at the highest volume, my family wouldn't appreciate that at 5:30 in the morning so yeah)

@rikkipoynter 6 лет назад

I tried the alarm function on my Apple Watch once and slept through it lol... and it was right before a dinner at Apple Campus too. Such a shame cos it'd be helpful lol and travel friendly!

@DeafDrone 6 лет назад

I use the sonic alert 🚨 sonic bomb also. Great alarm clock for us deaf and HOH people.

@stephaniepatterson3959 6 лет назад

My future husband uses the Sonic Bomb alarm clock I got him from Amazon. He's had his hearing parents wake him for school and everything his entire life. I was shocked! So at 23 years old, he gets an alarm clock that works. He has 2 alarms setup and apparently it's annoying to change those alarm times. Otherwise, it does the job.

opps didn't realize it goes under the matress and not the pillow. i have one that i bought. it's broken now. the button thing on the bottom doesn't work. it's fallen on the floor too mnay times. i used it maybe once or twice for camping/sleep over for girl guiding(scouting/USA) but it didn't do the trick cause im a heavy sleeper at camp.

Sorry to hear about all the stuff going on. Sometimes taking a step back from everything is okay. I was just wondering if you ever used the alarm if you had to sleep in a bed with another person. How would that work?

@rikkipoynter 6 лет назад

It would wake both people up unless one just happens to sleep through it.

@bellaviolet20 6 лет назад

Rikki Poynter That’s what I figured. I was just wondering how you would bring it up to the other person and all, I guess. How do you deal with that?
