Add These Senior Electronics To Your Gift List

By Erica Holms


Several companies produce creative senior gadgets designed specifically to allow people to be more independent. Many products aid in ordinary activities that most people take for granted. A wide range of senior electronics can greatly improve the quality of everyday life.

Senior products are available in many different categories. Specially designed phones make it easier for people with poor vision to receive and make calls more efficiently. The numbers are printed in large fonts and the buttons are large and spaced far enough apart for easy use. An ordinary remote control has small buttons and numbers that are difficult to read. The large unit will never get misplaced and is simple to manipulate. Clocks with large numbers are easier for seniors to see, even from the other side of the room. There is no need to miss appointments because the clock is too difficult to see. Smoke alarms that shout verbal warnings can eliminate confusion in the event of an emergency.

Many senior electronic products will assist people who are losing their hearing. A headset that amplifies sound can greatly increase the ability to understand the audio coming from the television and live voices in the same room. This eliminates the need to crank the volume up so loud that it disturbs everyone else in the home. Caretakers get a break because they no longer need to shout to be heard.

The main purpose for many senior helpers is to restore a sense of independence to the older individual. A number of senior aids are designed to make using the computer more comfortable for the elderly. A magnifier may be attached to the monitor to make it easier to see what is on the screen. Magnifying glasses are designed to be held by hand and will assist the user in reading what is written on newspapers, books and any other printed material. These portable devices can be tucked inside any pocket or carried around in a purse or tote bag.

Magnifiers equipped with lights are thoughtful senior gifts suitable for all occasions. These small gadgets will come in handy in restaurants where soft lighting makes it difficult to read the menu. With a magnifier, seniors no longer have to ask someone else to read the options to them. Regardless of need, there are several products that will make senior living more enjoyable.
