We've tried to explain it would be better if he adjusted his hearing aids,

Is there a way to adjust the volume on doorbells?



If electronic, maybe, check manual or on line.



If mechanical, about all you can do is cut down the volume by building a

box over it or reducing the resonance by attaching something to the bell

there are strobe light doorbell flashers for the hard of hearing.

THAT'S what I want for my office in the back of the house where I can't hear the doorbell, esp. if my office door is closed, which it often has to be.

Can these be installed in/with an old-fashioned doorbell that rings over the kitchen door?

If so, any idea of suppliers?

TIA
