Q: "My dad cannot hear higher frequencies of sound. He is getting forgetful and needs help remembering to take his pills three times each day. Is the MR-P1600FLLF the best choice for him?" Thanks. David
Answer: Medready recognized the need for an automatic pill dispenser with dual reminders. So the 1600FLLF was created. The pitch of the alarm is at a lower frequency plus there is a flashing light reminder.
According to Mayo clinic websites, there now are hearing aids that can help those with high-frequency hearing loss. Those with high-frequency hearing loss have trouble hearing higher pitched voices such as women's and children's voices, and certain parts of speech, such as consonants.
Medready also offers these units:
- MR-P1600LF: MedReady Lower frequency alarm
- Medready P1650FLLF: MedReady Lower frequency alarm, flashing light and modem connection for remote monitoring.
- Medready P1600FL: MedReady Flashing light alarm unit
- MR-P1650FL: MedReady Automatic Pill Dispenser with Flashing Light and Modem Connection
- Medready P1600: Basic Medready unit with standard alarm at frequency of 2800-3000 Hz alarm.
- MedReady Pillbox W/Modem Low Frequency Alarm, the MR-1650LF: MedReady Automatic Pill Dispenser with a Low Frequency Alarm Plus a Modem Connection.
- extra pill box insert if you or your pharmacy or home nursing service is filling the medications for your parent. Several state social services departments are utilizing the Medready units to help keep senior citizens healthy and to remain living in their homes as long as possible.
Thanks for your question.
Sincerely, Barbara
