A question about : Help for Hearing Impairment

Hi all,
I thought I'd set up a thread for people (like me) with hearing impairments I have two CIC hearing aids and can't really hear much at all without them!!

I'd like to ask if anyone knows of any sort of equipment that I can use in conjunction with (or in place of) my alarm clock. I've reached a point now where I can't hear it unless I sleep with one of my hearing aids in - not ideal!!

A question about : Does having a appointee affect ones benefits?

I was diagnosed with bipolar some years ago while inpatient in hospital and it was decided my money and benefits should be handled through a appointee by social services and I agreed with it, so they know receive my benefits on my behalf , my SW says I was put in the support group on the basis of having this appointee, is this true, does it give you credit by having one? Would getting it annulled affect my benefits, how many points in it on ESA when you can't manage your money?
