Having been hearing impaired since childhood, I'm glad that technology has finally acknowledged the needs of the hearing impaired. The amplified phones of the past don't hold a candle to the Clarity C4210. After carefully reading the manual, I found that all the problems mentioned in the previous reviews are addressed... if only people would take the time to understand this phone's functions.
The phone *IS* easy to use, easy to program, interfaces well with my phone service's voice mail system (which is nice since this phone does not have a built-in answering machine). The phone flashes when I either have missed a call or have a voice message waiting. Great feature since my old phone's built in digital answering machine sounded horrible. It stores a whopping 50 numbers in its phone directory. And, most importantly, provides ample amplification, up to 50 dB, of the high frequencies needed to clearly understand speech. I highly recommend this phone.

Very Over-rated Phone,

I bought this phone for my Mother who is 86 and very hard of hearing... this is probably the worst phone we have ever tried for her... she could not hear my voice ...and she sounded like she was about a million miles way..the sound quality is absolutely terrible. I returned this phone immediately. Believe it or not... she went to the local CVS store and bought one of their phones for about 30 bucks...and it sounds much better than this Clarity one did. I will not consider Clarity products any time soon..very over rated and way too expensive

I purchased the phone for an elderly woman who is hard of hearing. She can hear very well with it. However, it is always a challenge for her to program anything. This phone is no different. There is a volume boost button that is very useful. It has to be turned on each time the phone is used. It would be nice to turn the volume on button "on" permanantly. It's just one less thing to do when you answer the phone. These issues are minor. I would purchase the phone again.
