Clarity C4210 2.4GHz Cordless Phone with 40-dB Amplification, Caller ID and Call Waiting (White) Reviews
The tone change button does not appear to make any difference in tone that I can hear. Bought this phone for it's amplification for a hard of hearing person. It is great in that respect but there is significant hiss in the background no matter where it's plugged in in the house. My hearing is ok so I find it very annoying and don't use the phone. No other phone has this issue so I think it's the phone.
And, most importantly, provides ample amplification, up to 50 dB, of the high frequencies needed to clearly understand speech. The amplified phones of the past don't hold a candle to the Clarity C4210. It stores a whopping 50 numbers in its phone directory. Great feature since my old phone's built in digital answering machine sounded horrible. After carefully reading the manual, I found that all the problems mentioned in the previous reviews are addressed.
I highly recommend this phone. Having been hearing impaired since childhood, I'm glad that technology has finally acknowledged the needs of the hearing impaired. The phone flashes when I either have missed a call or have a voice message waiting. The phone *IS* easy to use, easy to program, interfaces well with my phone service's voice mail system (which is nice since this phone does not have a built-in answering machine). if only people would take the time to understand this phone's functions.
However, everyon'e hearing loss is different, and what doesn't work for me may work well for someone else. I am moderately hearing impaired and frequently have difficulty hearing on the telepone. It's worth giving it a try. It's okay, but the sound isn't as clear as I'd hoped, particularly the sound "boost" button. This Clarity phone seemed perfect for me, especially since it was supposed to work well with hearing aid tele-coils. (I kept the phone, because it's my best option at the present time). It's loud enough, just not clear enough.
I bought this phone for my Mother who is 86 and very hard of hearing. she went to the local CVS store and bought one of their phones for about 30 bucks.and it sounds much better than this Clarity one did. this is probably the worst phone we have ever tried for her. she could not hear my voice.and she sounded like she was about a million miles way.the sound quality is absolutely terrible. I will not consider Clarity products any time soon.very over rated and way too expensive Believe it or not. I returned this phone immediately.
However, it is always a challenge for her to program anything. This phone is no different. These issues are minor. It has to be turned on each time the phone is used.
I would purchase the phone again. There is a volume boost button that is very useful. I purchased the phone for an elderly woman who is hard of hearing.
She can hear very well with it. It's just one less thing to do when you answer the phone. It would be nice to turn the volume on button "on" permanantly.
