Summary: Satisfied second time around
Comment: I purchased the Clarity C4205 from Amazon. It was so-so for a couple of days and then turned very strange with noises, echoes, etc. I called Clarity and they told me just to pack it up and send it in. I received a replacement about a week later. It is GREAT. As one who is seriously hearing impaired, it has been a real treat, not only with volume, but with the clearness of speech which is so vital. I have three phones on the first floor of my house and when the phone rings, I rush for the Clarity.

Summary: Poor sound quality
Comment: I purchased this phone for my mother who has severe deafness. She has a corded phone that works very well for her, but I wanted her to have a cordless phone. This is NOT it. The sound quality is very poor! She can't hear on it at all, the volume control is not much louder than what you would find on the volume control phones at WalMart. Several other family members tried to use it, but it makes voices sound mechanical & distorted. There is no bass at all in what you are hearing. We were very disappointed and will send it back ASAP!

Summary: Great phone for the elderly
Comment: Purchased this phone for my 87 year old mom who has some dementia, is legally blind, and has hearing loss. It seems to be working well for her, the TAlk button is large, and the 3 memory buttons across the top make it easy for her to call.

Summary: Just what we needed....
Comment: I bought this for my eighty-six-year-old mother who is sure that she doesn't have a hearing problem; wish I agreed. So far she doesn't need the 'boost' button, but the regular sound is much better than the other cordless phones we'd tried. It does change sound quality a bit - voices sound a bit different, but they are clear enough for her to understand. It was just what we needed.

Summary: Very disappointed
Comment: I purchased this for an elderly parent. He loved the loud ringer and the phone looks very nice. It appeared to come partially assembled so that we could not hang on the wall - left us wondering if we actually got a new one or previous repair. We then realized that none of us could hear well on it. Boost feature does work, but TALK button does not change colors to warn those with normal hearing that it's on - volume of speaker on other end fluctuated up and down in volume. Also, when speaking into mouthpiece it sounds like you're in a tunnel - noise in your setting seems to amplify in the earpiece adding to the frustration. The volume control is easy to use, but increases the 'noise' along with the voice. The tone control appeared to do nothing and was a disappointment. We tried to use it for several days but decided that, aside from the loud ringer, it was useless. We've returned it and will try again, but it certainly won't be a Clarity phone this time. Maybe we just got a lemon. And Amazon is great, as usual.
