If the student is hearing impaired and not deaf, she may be able to hear a metronome fitted with and ear-piece. Many of the electronic metronomes have a ear-phone output jack. When I have tried the ear-phone, the volume of the sound is _very_ loud. Plus, having a physical connection with the sound source may be beneficial.
As far as metronomes with lights - it might be beneficial to find one that has an LED that can alternate colors; red for beat one, green for other beats - although a simply blinking light can be used too. I often get tired of "hearing" my metronome and switch it to "light only" mode. Placed on the stand, it's quite visible.
A method I often use to teach rhythms might also be handy - get a drum-stick and tap the beat on the leg of the student's chair (not the student's leg The physical connection/feedback is stronger than the aural feedback. For this reason, I always encourage students to tap their feet or even stomp until they have a good "feel" for timing.
Hope this helps ...
