Clarity Dect 6.0 Cordless Amplified Phone With Clarity Power and Call Waiting Caller ID (50603)

I have tried a lot of phones this year, including other phones by Clarity (older technologies) and one by GE. This is by far the best one that I have found. It is easy to use, light, is the latest technology, and is great for someone with mild to moderate hearing loss. Thus far, the phone has worked great and the price is reasonable. The sound quality is superb, very clear and the Dect 6.0 seems superior to older technologies.

I would definitely recommend this product.

I purchased this model for my elderly father who is confined to a chair and is legally blind. He, like many elderly folks, has hearing problems for which he refuses to obtain a hearing aid. This phone is a wonderful product for giving him clarity in his phone reception, just as its brand name implies. He also likes the large buttons, except for the ones near the top, which occasionally get pushed when he doesn't intentionaly push them. The phone is clumsy to hold in the hand. Otherwise, it is the best phone he has ever owned, and he loves it. The price is well worth paying, and Amazon's service and prompt shipping was better than any in-store experience, so convenient. I just used my credit card and had it shipped directly to his home. This would make an excellent Christmas gift for any elderly person you know.

The main problem with this phone is th clarity is bundled with the boost. I bought the phone for my great Aunt. She does not need the phone so loud (in loudness her hearing loss is only mild). Adding pressing the boost button (as ther is no way to leave it on) is an extra step for her which she forgets. She really needs the clarity feature and the phone on full volume would be loud enough. While the corded variety of this phone allows me to set the clarity apart from the boost (and leave it on at all times) the cordless variety lacks this feature. As a result, this phone ends up being useless, as I can either leave the volume to low for her to hear and hope she boosts the phone (which is a 50/50 chance) or put it on a loud volume and have it not be clear enough.

Other than that, my only complaint is this phone is not very intuitive to an elderly person who is used to corded phones, but I suspect this would be for any corded phone. The other issue is the top buttons are too easily press while the person is talking into the phone. All in all, while this cordless amplified phone got some of the best ratings of cordless amplified phones, I wish I had never bought it.

I bought this phone for
my mother who has hearing problems.
She can hear a lot better with this phone and she sounds a lot better when I talk to her.
This phone was a good choice.

Highly recommended. A wonderful audio boosting telephone that does not look like a "handicap" phone in any way, and can be used in a normal or boosted mode. I installed this for a family member who had been close to tears after struggling to participate in a conversation with her regular phone. I have been told that it is especially helpful even without a hearing aid. We are purchasing several more phones and hand sets to use throughout the house and the installation is as easy as any other cordless phone, and it is simple to operate. There is also a model with an answering machine. A godsend!
Update Nov.19: one has to be aware that you can accidentally disconnect your call by pressing the handset's large, raised buttons against your face during a call.

I have a hearing problem. Volume on the phone seems to be very good for my problem. Infact, I have not had to us the volume boost feature yet.

The volume of this phone for receiving/making calls is excellent. The boost button really increases the volume
even more. There is one problem however, in that the ringer on this phone cannot be turned up loud enough.
My mother will not hear it ringing if she is in the other room. She has hearing loss that is on the high-end
of moderate. Unfortunately, I will be returning it. It is a really nice phone otherwise.

I bought this phone to replace an older Clarity. My husband is hard of hearing in one ear and loves the "boost" ability and the clearness of the phone. I love the big numerical buttons. Like most digital phones it took me a bit to figure out the programming - in particular -how to review missed or previously dialed calls; the instructions aren't overly clear on this - but one call to Clarity solved any mystery.

If you are looking for a light, portable phone without answering machine ability, go for this one!

Works good and I hear it ok even though I am a little hard of hearing, large buttons and easy to use. Gave 4 stars because, come on, have you ever had a perfect phone but I would buy it again.

Phone is GREAT. Sound quality is super. Buttons are a little large and raised so it is easy to accidently depress a button on the side of you face while using the unit. That is the only problem I have found.
