Re: Persistent sound recognition alerts :I am hard of hearing and use hearing aids. At night I sleep without them, and because of this, I don’t hear much when I sleep and would likely not survive if there is a fire in my building

Re: Apple Watch : I know Apple has Sound Recognition, and I know it can alert if a fire alarm goes off.
Can I use this to alert me when I sleep?
As we know: Sound recognition is available on iPhone or iPad:

Eg: says:
Note: Don’t rely on your iPhone to recognize sounds in circumstances where you may be harmed or injured,
in high-risk or emergency situations, or for navigation.
