Clarity Introduces Mobile Device for Hearing Impaired to Improve Telephone Communication

Clarity CE225, a lightweight, portable personal in-line telephone amplifier for people with hearing problems, was introduced by Clarity, a division of the leading assistive technology devices supplier Plantronics Inc. The CE225, a sleek and ergonomic device which can amplify sound up to 28 decibels, can be easily inserted between the handset and base of any corded telephone. The device, with the patented Clarity Power technology, not only increases the volume of incoming sounds but also makes words clearer.

Clarity CE225 promises a level of freedom for the millions of people with hearing difficulties. The quick and easy installation and operation of CE225 enables people to use the telephone in normal settings, but with added advantages. Matt Hutchinson, director of marketing for Clarity explained, “With nearly one in two Baby Boomers experiencing some form of hearing loss, it is absolutely imperative they have access to easy communication. The Clarity CE225 can give back the ability to hear phone calls at the office through their digital PBX systems, on a business trip or even at home.”

Millions of people with hearing problems across the US suffer from inadequately equipped phones at their workplace. Difficulty communicating properly and effectively in daily work may affect their productivity as well as self-esteem. Suzanne Wyatt, executive director of the EAR Foundation said, “We have seen many people who thought they had to leave their jobs because they could no longer communicate with others.”

Operating with two AAA batteries, Clarity CE225 can give hours of portable amplification power. This extremely portable device is lightweight and compactly built. Priced at $39.95 USD, CE225 can be purchased Clarity Authorized Distributors or online.
