Clarity P300 Amplified Photo Phone - 76593.000

This phone was exactly what I needed for my Dad he has trouble hearing the phone ring! He also has a hard time dialing the small buttons on a regular phone. The pictures help when he calls his daughters. This phone helps him keep his independence. It also gives me more peace of mind knowing he can call me on his first try.

This is a nice phone that is quite easy to use for both the hearing and sight impaired user, especially if they are getting up in the years. The picture buttons were our main reason for the purchase as the intended user is also in the early stages of age related dementia. On many similar phones you first have to push a speed dial button before you depress the picture, on this one not so, you simply touch the picture of the person you wish to speak to and it dials the number. It can get nice and loud if you turn it all the way up, and the ringer sound is loud and adjustable too. I really liked the fact that it is powered by the phone line and no outlet or electrical cord was required. Here are my only two comments that are not glowing recommendations....First, be aware that there is no speaker phone type use on this device, you must use the handset (receiver). And second, it does not remember and hold the amplified volume from call to call. For each and every call, if you need the sound turned up the user must press another button. This is not an issue for the sight or hearing impaired, but it may be for those with memory loss.
