CHATTANOOGA, TN--(Marketwire - Oct 6, 2011) - Clarity, a division of Plantronics (
"Crystal clear conversations from a phone that is simple-to-use -- that's what so many older consumers are seeking and that's what we're delivering with the Clarity XLC2 and XLC3.4," said Carsten Trads, president of Clarity. "These new cordless phones feature our patented digital sound processing, which is similar to the technology found in hearing aids. But it's not just about overcoming hearing loss; the phones address multiple health concerns to provide a complete solution for seniors."
The Clarity XLC2 and XLC3.4 use Digital Clarity Power™ to amplify incoming sounds and remove unwanted and distracting noises, much like a hearing aid. With DECT 6.0 technology, the phones provide interference-free communication and also include three tone settings to give users a customized listening experience. Both products boost outgoing speech up to 15 decibels, making communication less strenuous for people who have trouble speaking loudly.
Along with powerful amplification technology, the XLC2 and XLC3.4 provide assistance with other common challenges. For example, the phones feature Talking Caller ID, which announces the incoming caller, and a Talking Dial Pad with back-lit buttons to help people with low vision. And the large, soft-touch buttons on the handset and phone base are spaced apart to be easily accessible to those with dexterity issues or arthritis.
Both models also include a loud and clear spearkerphone. The super bright visual ringers on both phones make sure you never miss a call. The XLC3.4 features a Caller ID screen as well.
The Clarity XLC2 and XLC3.4 are hearing aid compatible and sold across the US through special needs distributors and can also be purchased online at www.clarityproducts.com. The XLC3.4 can be purchased in a combo pack with an extra handset.
