When we had our home built six years ago we had our electrician and an
electronics engineer develop a system for our lights and phones that works
great.  Whenever the phone rings lights all over the house (one in each
room) flash on and off to alert us.  My brother in law's company in Coos
Bay, OR did the electronic work.  We had smoke detectors hard wired in
(interconnected) and they are strobe light detectors.  If one smoke detector
goes off they all go off and they also alert our alarm monitoring station
which has a tty hookup.  We have deaf children who are adults and have never
lived in this house but as we age most of us lose at least some of our
hearing so that is why we had the house built this way.  The house is
accessible to all types of disabilities.  It is also great when our deaf
kids come home to visit and they know this house is accessible to them also.
