Deafgard is a moveable wireless acoustically triggered bedside unit that incorporates a high intensity LEDs and a connected vibrator pad, that when placed under the pillow, vibrates to wake the sleeper upon the fire alarm sounding. The flashing LEDs and LCD provide visual indication that the fire alarm is sounding, allowing the individual to leave their room to a place of safety.
