I have profound hearing loss in my right ear, and some loss in my left. Although it doesn't affect my daily life TOO much (sometimes I have to remind my husband not to talk to me from the other room,), I'm a bit worried about it interfering with my ability to hear the baby when she comes.
I've read that Graco makes a vibrating monitor, which would work great, but a majority of the reviews said it stopped working suddenly. Does anybody have any recommendations?
Answer
We had same problem with Graco, ours stopped vibrating but light still flashes.
We switched to baby cry signaler, really useful!
Go to Harris Communication which sells equipments for Deaf and Hard of Hearing people.

Answer
Well, when a baby is born they test the hearing in the hospital. Most deaf people have a lot of hearing friends and family, so if the baby is able to hear they just make sure the exposure to others is high and usually get a speech therapist after a certain age to help them. And don't underestimate television and radios. And remember, just because someone is deaf doesn't mean they are mute. Some deaf people even learn to talk to a point themselves (like Helen Keller.)
Now, as far as hearing a baby cry, they usually have a noise sensor. Like, most of the monitors you see these days have a light display that lights up if the baby is making noise. They have things like that, they have beepers that vibrate when a noise is being made, and many new parents invest in a hearing-aid dog (they're not that hard to train and almost any breed can be used, some cats even. You just teach the dog to run to the source of noise (like crying), then back to the owner, and back and forth until the owner reaches the source of the noise at which point owner gives a treat. VERY VERY easy to train.) Or they go the old fashioned way and put the baby next to them a lot, carry them around a lot, and if they sleep make sure that the bed is easily jostled if the baby cries.
