A reviewer noted the vibrating aspect and that it would wake her up. How was it worn in bed? On the wrist, belt or under a pillow? I'm deaf.

The vibrating feature would not be ideal for a deaf individual. The vibration is meant to be "heard" on the night stand as the device rattles around; I would not consider it strong enough or accurate enough to rely on for someone that is deaf.

I don't think this one would work for you then unless you are a very light sleeper. It does have a belt clip on the back but the vibration seemed very weak to me. Also, the vibration would go off all the time, crying baby or not.

If you press it against your ear as you would a phone, you could hear a faint tick. Otherwise, it is quiet. The alarm is surprisingly loud for the size of the clockFYI: The size is 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 1 1/2"

I didn't have a problem - at higher volume level a little tickling on the skin due to the vibration. However, I could understand (especially if your sinuses were congested) how it would vibrate your semi-circular canals (they're where your balance is managed and are located in your inner ears) and could have some effect. But understand this is just my opinion, I'm not a doctor by any means.

For me, yes! I left it downstairs on a table and it even woke me up. I have to say it's fairly loud. My son didn't like to wear it so I would leave it on a table and we were able to hear it from multiple places in our home..

None whatsoever. It feels just like wearing a watch that has a rubber watch band. Mine is on 24/7 except when I take a shower.

It's similar to a phone on vibrate. It's more audible if left on a hard surface.

I am deaf in one ear, so for me to say it isn't quiet, means it isn't quiet, certainly not whisper quiet as some have written,which infuriates me, because I bought it based on the "quiet" aspect. If it is on I have to turn up the TV volume. To me it is like white noise on steroids, especially on high.

It's quite comfortable, in my opinion. You feel your head completely surrounded, so to speak, which is why it prevents light from getting in. When you move your head around, it doesn't really make noise (I'm not exactly sure what you mean). They send you a pair of earplugs too. Basically, the part of the sleeping mask that covers your ears is just a small supplement to the earplugs. Hope this helped!

I use mine a lot and have never felt any vibration or tickling. After extended use, sometimes my ears will get a little sore from the pressure, but I also have a pretty large head and wear them for many hours at a time, sometimes.

There is no vibration. It inflates and deflates too slowly for the patient to notice much. My 97 year old Grandmother rests easy.

It does make some noise, almost sounds like the Homedic shiatsu back massager. If you are using it in a quiet environment, you could hear the noise for sure.

Mine definitely is not that loud. You could open it in bedroom and no one else would know. I would contact manufacturer. Got to be a way to change it.

I sleep on my side as well. Only reason I noticed any noise at all is because it was mentioned on reviews by those who would obsess over such things. Truth be told, one's own hair makes noise so it is about the same category as that. In other words, the brain ends up overriding these little things after a bit. On the other hand, being that the pillow conforms so well, you end up not moving nearly as much as you may trying to adjust a traditional pillow so I say it's a wash, overall.

If you had the receiver near you, I'm pretty sure it would wake you. In my case I'm definitely awakened, but that's because of a Shepherd dog who starts barking excitedly when it goes off. She hears it quite well even a few rooms away.

Sorry--never used that feature. It's not what I bought it for. Put it in your pocket where you can feel it, but the vibration will be muffled. No matter how quiet it vibrates, if clients can hear it, they will feel rushed.
