Sound quality doesn't measure up January 9, 2007

Poor sound quality - an evaluation from those in the household with fine hearing, as well as my own, which isn't. Seems to be harsh, not clear. We tried it a few days and ditched it in favor of a corded Ameriphone Dialogue XL-40.
It does have some nice features in general but those don't make up for the basic problem

I purchased this phone for my wife, who has moderate hearing loss. The Amazon site product information indicates 40db amplification. The product literature that came with the phone indicates that the volume control adds 15db, and the "boost" feature adds another 15db, for a total of 30db. I will echo the other review, the boost feature is practically useless. I have very good hearing, and even with the volume all the way up, and the boost on, it was not too loud for me. Besides not being loud enough, the sound quality was lousy.
My wife tried the phone for a week or so, and I have returned it.
constant static, awkward December 17, 2005

I don't recommend this phone. I'm disappointed, since the audio demo on their web site sounds really good.
It has a constant "frying" noise in the background. You can hear people, but it's really annoying and unusable due to this noise.
I bought it for $100 from amazon.com, where it is sold by one of the associated sellers, ds_international.
In terms of features, it says it normally boosts high frequencies, which is where most middle-aged hearing losses are and mine is. This type of hearing loss makes it hard to understand someone if there is background noise like other conversations or music.
The phone has an adjustable volume control. It also has a second feature called boost which is supposed to boost the volume substantially and comes with a warning sticker. That does boost the volume, but certainly not to any level I'd consider dangerous, maybe a factor of two, if that, and it gives the sound a strange tinny tone.
One disadvantage I found after fiddling with it for awhile is that it is hard to pick up. My old cordless phone has an antenna a couple of inches long sticking out of the top. I hadn't realized it, but that makes it easy to pick up when I slide my left hand under the phone to pick it out of its cradle. I do this all the time, as the phone is next to my reading chair. The Clarity phone's antenna hardly protrudes at all, so your left hand has no purchase on the phone, and you have to be facing the phone and pick it up with your right hand, then change it to your left hand to use (assuming you're right handed.)
