A new organization set up to encourage hotels to become more deaf-friendly has chosen the Agrippa pillow alarm to show hotels how easy it is to make adjustments to their services to attract more customers.

Heary, based in the Netherlands, which offers training and products to the hotel industry, has undertaken research suggesting the majority of hotels offer no additional options for those who are deaf or hard of hearing, in the event of a fire evacuation.
