Digital camera reviews of Clarity Professional PL100 Personal Listener Plus
Digital camera Review: failed immediately, cheap
Summary: 1 Stars
Purchased this to aid an elderly relative who was very hard of hearing. The extended mic cord is designed (and pitched) as a great way to enjoy TV audio.
After initial charging the unit worked for 1-2 minutes then quit. It came with generic no-name rechargable batteries, so I purchased new set (incl extra for the charger base). Again, same thing only this time it never came back.
The unit has a cheap feel to it; the controls seem insubstantial (power button may have been the problem??). The few seconds it worked it was pretty good, but for someone already hard of hearing, the failures would be extremely frustrating to work out.
NYC Electronics did RMA and refunded my credit card. Curiously, I asked for replacement or refund and they chose refund which leads me to believe I wasn't the only customer having trouble.

We originally got the item so I could hear on the right side of the car, my right ear has no hearing, and I thought this was good so I could hear passengers when they were riding with me needless to say I never got to use it.I tried it one time in the house and never got to use it as originally intended.Digital camera Review: hope

After trying several amplifiers, the Clarity PL100 listener is to me the best in the mid price range.The descriptions of it's performances are accurate. The quality of the sound, the weight, and the one ear earphone make it discret and pleasant to use. We called it Grandma's Pod, look is very important to her.She return a pair of earring aid (4000 euros) after receiving the PL 100 I am not joking!
I bought two PL100 listeners for elderly relatives (89 & 90 years old) and it does requires the manipulation of small parts. Also the power charger is for US/110V only, unlike cameras and cellular phones. For travelers or customers abroad you need to purchase an additional international charger or power reducer (15 dollars, on the web)and additional set of rechargeable batteries...this is a Pain. In a world of technology, of smaller computers and miniature electronic gadgets, while we are living longer, why is so difficult to find a store,to compare,and try a personal listener/amplifier/earing aids ? Thanks to Clarity and Amazon.
Digital camera Review: worthless
Summary: 1 Stars
This item did not work. It didn't just not work well, it did not work at all. A waste of time and shipping, and a big disappointment to my deaf mother in a nursing home who just wanted to hear her tv.
If I could have given it minus ten stars, I would have. Or a star going nova...you've got the idea. and yes, we tried brand new batteries. The THING IS DEAD. And yes, I returned it.
