Clarity, a division of Plantronics that creates smart communication solutions for seniors, introduced its new D703™ amplified cordless telephone designed specifically for people with hearing loss, low vision and mobility challenges.
Available exclusively at RadioShack®, the new Clarity D703™ cordless big button phone amplifies incoming sound up to 35dB, or twelve times louder than standard home phones, through the patented Clarity Power™ technology while removing unwanted and distracting noises. The Clarity D703™ has been recognized by the Arthritis Foundation, receiving its Ease-of-Use commendation for the phone's arthritis-friendly design.
"Our new cordless amplified phone is not only a tremendous solution for people with mild-to-moderate hearing loss, but the D703 is also designed for people who can't see or move as well as they once could," said Carsten Trads, president of Clarity. "We have been designing products for seniors for 40 years and understand the unique needs people encounter as they age. The D703 provides several options to meet these core needs of our customers and we're excited RadioShack® is making it available across the U.S."
The Clarity D703™ is a simple and easy-to-use cordless phone with minimal features designed for seniors with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. With DECT 6.0 technology, the phone provides interference-free communication, includes four adjustable tone settings to give users a customized listening experience and is hearing aid compatible. The handset has a built-in speakerphone that is loud and clear and a large, easy-to-read Caller ID display.
The keypad buttons are the largest of any cordless phone and are made of a soft-touch material, making for painless dialing for those with arthritis or dexterity issues. The buttons are also high-contrast and backlit and flash in unison with the Caller ID display as a visual ringer for those with low vision.
The D703™ support up to five additional handsets, which can be located anywhere in the home where there is a power outlet. The additional handsets are helpful for seniors who struggle with mobility challenges and cannot quickly move to another room when the phone rings.
