ClearSounds Phones & Accessories Help the Hearing Impaired

INSIDER TIP: Help a loved one with hearing loss or low vision with specialized telephones and accessories from ClearSounds.

ClearSounds is a company that designs products for the hearing impaired; they produce both corded and cordless telephones along with portable amplifiers for both telephones and cell phones. Some of their products also incorporate features to help those with low vision or include one-button access to emergency contacts or services. Besides telephones for the hearing impaired and those with low vision, the company also offers a number of accessories:

Specialized headphones designed to work with your TV so that the volume can stay at a specific level in the room that is comfortable for everyone while the hearing-impaired person can still hear every word.
An Amplified Power Neckloop Accessory that works with cell phones to amplify the audio. They even have a specialized Bluetooth Amplifier.
Accessories for telephones, including a vibrating pad and phone amplifiers.

The Web site even offers trouble-shooting tips for many of the Clear Sounds phone systems. You can request a print catalog or find a local retailer should you want to see the products before purchasing them online. We also give ClearSounds extra points for being environmentally conscious—all their products are produced in accordance with RoHS regulations, reducing the amount of lead and other toxic materials used in the phone.

Refresher: Make it easy to talk on the phone or hear the TV for the hearing impaired with specialized products from ClearSounds.
