I don't m iss the little radio shack model I had that did much the same as your "big ben". a loud bong, at max volume. and this was a travel talking clock at that. They never seem to build in a volume control for these things. now I use a standard clock radio (the alarm is very hard for me to set as it doesn't speak) and manage to get it set close tom where i want (usually 15 minutes early). btw, do they make a braille version that can be set that makes a loud buzz when the alarm goes off? I know there are windup models, but i always forget to wind those up. Its been 10 years since I last had a talking clock.

I bought also from ILA., an atomic clock. It's easy to set, not as loud as some. As a rule I'm not crazy about talking clocksor watches, so usually wear a braille watch. It's easy to check my watch in the middle of the night or in a meeting or private session with someone without that ridiculous noise! Too bad more of the talking clocks or watches don't have a volume control. Hi there! I bought also from ILA., an atomic clock. It’s easy to set, not as loud as some.
