Special Situations - My Child Fears Loud Noises

Some children are wary of loud sounds and are worried that the alarm will “scare” them in the night. Several alarms will work well for this situation. Recordable alarms allow parents to record their voice (or any sound) to play when wetness is detected.

Any alarm with a volume control dial would also work for children who are concerned about a loud sound. The Malem Bedside and Malem wireless both allow for volume adjustment.

Vibration only, which is an option in the Malem Ultimate alarm, is another option for children are worried about the loud sound. The Malem Ultimate is a wearable alarm that allows you to select vibration only to be played when moisture is detected. Be aware that since the vibration would only be detected by the user, you may not be alerted to provide assistance when the wetting occurs.

The Rodger Wireless alarm has a volume control switch so that the sound level can be adjusted. The sound unit (receiver) can also be positioned further from the user or even in parent or caregiver’s room.
