Dear Virginia Christiansen Thanks so much to you all for sending me info about the timers. So far, this one below - Voice Craft - sounds the best. Trouble is I am in Australia, so I am not sure if Radio Shack have them here (or indeed if we have Radio Shack places (I am confused 'cos I used to live in Canada and the name is familiar to me... can my Aussie mates advise please?) >Re the question about hearing a pill timer. Ted could not hear the "beep" on >the pill timers .... I could hear it upstairs and behind closed doors but he >would be on top of it and he had a dead spot in his hearing and couldn't >hear. I found a timer that works. It is meant for kitchen timing ... >doesn't hold pills. It is about 2" x 3" with a clip that he clips onto his >pocket. The name of this one is Voice Craft, a talking timer. It is set for >the time, if you push it it gives the current time.
