The Best Baby Monitors for Deaf Mothers of 2021

One of the key things deaf parents should look out for when choosing a baby monitor is good video quality. When you are mostly relying on vision, you want to be able to make out your baby’s facial expression on a baby monitor. This monitor offers just that, with the parent unit coming with two portable HD cameras to keep an eye on your baby at all times.

The parent unit is a decent size too, with its 5-inch color screen. It can even be viewed in split-screen mode if there are multiple cameras connected.

At night, or in low light conditions, there is a handy infra-red setting, providing you with maximum visibility without causing any disturbance to your baby.

As well as the parent unit, you can also access the video stream from the camera by downloading the Hubble Connected app, which is the software that supports this baby monitor. From the app you can enjoy the same viewing quality as the portable parent unit, and additional features such as room temperature monitoring, built-in lullabies and even a dedicated parent support area with articles and videos. It’s one of the pricier options on our list but if you’re willing to invest, it’s a great, convenient product with many features to offer.

Unlike some of the other monitors on this list, this monitor is specifically targeted for parents with hearing loss.

This small, attractive unit works as an add-on to an existing device in a wider eco-system – either the strobe receiver or the Sonic Boom clock, vastly popular with deaf parents.

The cry signaler can be linked to the Sonic Boom clock’s alarm, alerting parents of any noises or disturbances by a series of vibrations and lights. Alternatively, the device can be linked up to the strobe receiver which is silent, but lights up brightly enough to wake most from sleeping.

This is a particularly good option if you’re a parent who prefers not to go to bed wearing hearing aids, but worries about being alert for your baby during the night. 

The user-friendly device is very easy to set-up with minimal fuss. You can fast-forward to your peace of mind as soon as this device is plugged in.

It’s one of the more affordable options on our list, but as mentioned above, you will need to already have either the strobe light or the sonic boom clock to link this device up to.

This device is not only high-quality but at a really affordable price point too. It’s a standalone camera which links up to your smartphone or smartwatch for a seamless experience with the upmost convenience.

You can sit back and relax knowing that you have a panoramic view in HD without the annoyance of distortions. With a 360-degree pan and tilt function, you can always keep a close eye on things, and be in control.

There are even auto-cruise and ‘bookmarking’ functions, where you can set-up the camera to monitor up to 8 ‘favorite’ zones for optimal viewing when watching playbacks.

The night vision feature is also clear and reliable with a non-invasive infrared sensor, which doesn’t disturb the baby.

Another great feature for deaf parents is that baby cry alerts can be sent directly to your smartphone for a faster response time. Saving you from those restless nights.

If you’re looking for a baby monitor which offers beneficial features for deaf parents, the Nanit is an option that should be considered.

The Nanit is a wall-mountable camera which is shaped to perfectly extend over your baby’s bed or crib, providing an unparalleled view of your sleeping little one.

Boasting a HD camera, you can keep a watchful eye over the baby’s bed with this device’s crystal-clear picture quality. Night vision, and pinch-to-zoom functions let you see every detail, and you can access the camera anytime from your smartphone with remote viewing.

Deaf parents can take advantage of the smart features this camera has to offer, including sound and motion notifications, and temperature and humidity sensors. There is also a soft-glow night light built-in to help send your baby off to sleep.

It’s one of the more expensive options on our list, but with the all the additional features, you’re getting what you pay for.

This last monitor on our list is a popular one for a lot of parents, but it offers many features that can work well in for a household with one or two deaf parents.

The camera on this monitor is HD with clear video resolution, as well as night vision that lets you see your baby even in complete darkness. With the swipe of a finger, you can tilt and pan the camera for a complete view of the room.

As this camera links up to an app on your smartphone, you have the option of receiving all alerts as notifications on your phone, rather than through standard noise alarms. This means that deaf parents can respond quickly if the baby is moving around or crying in the night.

With a good level of control over the camera, and a high standard picture quality, this monitor feels well worth the money, and it is no wonder it’s a popular one. 

In addition to this there are various smart features such as white noise, lullabies and a night light to soothe your baby.
