Product Description

Manufacturer Description

With the 900MHz cordless, amplified C420, Clarity is proving that style and functionality are not mutually exclusive. By fusing the dynamic capabilities of Clarity's patented audio technology in a product that features a sleek, elegant and ergonomic housing, Clarity has declared its independence from the industry standard in products for the Hard of Hearing community.

The Clarity C420 is used just like a typical cordless telephone, but is equipped with Clarity Power technology which amplifies sounds that are frequently missed by those with a hearing loss. Standard amplified telephones typically amplify all sounds during a conversation, making it difficult for someone with a hearing loss to decipher words in a conversation. Clarity Power is the first technology in the telecommunications industry to go beyond standard volume control assistance by allowing a user to control the high frequency sounds based on the degree of his or her hearing loss.

The Clarity C420 and all Clarity products are endorsed by The EAR Foundation, a national nonprofit organization that promotes pioneering advances in the treatment of hearing loss. The EAR Foundation recognizes the quality and benefits of Clarity products and recommends that those with hearing loss consider Clarity products as a healthy solution for their hearing needs. A recent study conducted by Clarity and the EAR Foundation found that nearly half of the 76 million baby boomers in the U.S. suffer from some degree of hearing loss.

The Clarity C420 features Caller ID, a bright visual ringer, a large lighted dial pad, 10 memory keys and 3 one touch programmable emergency speed dial buttons. The phone uses a 3.6-volt 600-mAh NiMH rechargeable 3 cell (AA type) battery and requires a modular phone jack and a standard 120-volt outlet. The C420 is also hearing aid compatible.

Features include:

• Clarity Power technology
• Amplifies incoming sounds up to 30 decibels
• Caller ID with 50-name-and-number-memory
• Ergonomic design for comfortable telephone conversations
• Bright visual ringer in base and handset alerts users to incoming telephone calls
• Customizable handset ringer
• Large lighted dial pad

What's in the Box:
Handset, base unit, battery, belt clip, telephone line cord, AC adapter, user manual.

I was disappointed in this phone, and agree that the online ad is much better than the phone itself. Perhaps it works better for people who are not wearing hearing aids and using t-coils. I and everyone else who tried the phone found the quality "tinny" and harsh. I returned the phone, and am much happier with a Uniden.

IF you are hearing impaired, this phone will not help you at all. The volume is too low and the boost button did not work at all. Item was returned.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad Phone, November 26, 2008

This review is from: Clarity 900 MHz Amplified Cordless Phone with Caller ID (C420) (Office Product)

I bought this phone for my mother who has a mild hearing problem. I tested the phone for the volume amplification, "Clarity Boost" and ringer signal amplification. There was constant buzzing sound in the backgroud. I could hear my own voice amplified while talking, that felt like being in a big empty room. The volume control and "Clarity Boost" made some difference, but the whole experience was so annoying that I decided to return the phone.
