Digital camera reviews of Clarity Amplified Corded Big-Button Telephone with Clarity Power Technology (XL40)
Digital camera Review: Loud and Clear
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent volume, easy to see and use controls and great amplification make this the perfect phone for someone who has some hearing loss and needs reading glasses. For the first time in years, my mom can enjoy rather than dread talking to someone on the phone.Digital camera Review: Nice phone and features but sound quality sounds a bit scratchy.
Summary: 4 Stars
The phone has a loud ringer and large buttons which make it easy to use for my hearing/vision impaired mother. Overall I'm happy with this purchase but the sound quality is not as clear as a normal land line phone.Digital camera Review: No need to talk loudly any more
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are talking very loudly during phone conversations, to enable your loved one to hear you, shout no more... please, consider buying this phone, and you'll all be happy. I purchased this phone for my 86 year old Dad, who already had a cheap phone that had only volume control. Expect to assist an elder loved one with the setup of the phone, and help them learn the controls. I do not live in the same state, but I arranged for my brother to help him. Setup was very simple, and the learning process for my Dad took 15-20 minutes, as he experimented listening to recorded messages. My Dad called me shortly after, exclaiming how well the phone worked, and how well using both the amplifier and tone control hugely increased his ability to hear AND understand conversations on the phone. He was also so pleased that he could use his (inexpensive) hearing aid while using this phone. I must tell you that over the last several years I observed my Dad increasingly emotionally separated from his children, as phone conversations have been so difficult, especially with his daughters, who's pitch are higher than men's. All of his children have noticed the difference, and are enjoying being able to talk to Dad again on the phone. I am so appreciative that I can talk to my Dad more frequently now.Digital camera Review: Ringer is too damn loud!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought a different model Clarity phone. The ringer was adjustable - from extremely loud to fire alarm loud. I was afraid that my mother would get a heart attack from the startle reflex of the ringer going off. She is frail, and I imagined what it would be like if she fumbled the phone while reaching for it! It would drive anyone crazy. I had to return the phone, and fortunately Amazon's return policy is a generous one. I called the Clarity/Ameriphone company to complain about this defect in their phone and asked them if there was any phone they made which permitted the ringer to be turned down to something reasonable. They told me 'no'. All of their phones ring loudly enough to unsettle a person unless they are very hard of hearing. It's amazing to me that they manufacture a phone like this. The phone even has an adjustable ringer control, but it does not permit the phone's ringer to be set at a reasonable volume. The phone does have better clarity and enhanced loudness as compared with the lousy sound of most phones today. But the ringer renders this phone unusable, except for the severely hearing impaired. I'm more than disappointed; I'm angered by the stupidity of the engineering of this phone!Digital camera Review: Telephone for hard of hearing!

This product has been very helpful for my husband to communicate with his kids and grandkids who live in other states. It works better than the much more expensive phone he received for Christmas a couple of years ago. Thanks!
