There are many different brands of “Fitness Trackers,” which are a wearable devices primarily used monitoring and tracking fitness-related metrics such as distance walked or run, calorie consumption, and in some cases heartbeat and quality of sleep. These are paired with your computer, tablet, or smartphone.  

For travelers with hearing loss, you can set your band/tracker to vibrate to wake you or when you have incoming calls on your phone. Instead of using travel “shake-awake” alarms or sleeping with your smartphone under your pillow, you can wear the light, comfortable fintess band around your wrist to wake up to a specific time set on your phone. Perfect for traveling, vacations, or even for use at home.

Different brands offer different features. Be sure to select the band that has a silent alarm.
