Yes, the internal beep is great-sounding, but not helpful if you're not wearing headphones. <GRIN>

Hi Bruce and list:

I also found the external beep of the alarm difficult to hear unless I had my hearing aids on. But I had better luck with the internal beep, which sounds more like a touch tone telephone key. Having the choice of options there means it doesn't really matter if I can't hear that external beep. Just choose the one that I can hear and the problem is solved.

Cheers,
Dave

 Unfortunately, for me, the beep for the alarm isn't very useful, as my
 hearing problem renders the beep almost inaudible. But that's my problem,
 not anyone else's.
