The FitBit watch that vibrates when the phone rings, and the clap-activated lamp.
Explanation: vibration provides a tactile alert useful for someone who is Deaf; clap-activated devices are triggered by the user's action (sound) and don't require hearing to operate. A higher‑frequency doorbell still relies on hearing, and a color vs monochrome thermostat display doesn't specifically address hearing needs.
