Great Phone for the Elderly.......2007-12-23
This phone has been wonderful. It has enabled my mom, who is in a nursing home and has Alzheimer's, to be able to have a phone and call myself and my brother who lives out of state. She says "they can take anything but don't ever take away my phone". I put pictures in the memory spots so she doesn't have to think about anything, all she has to do is press our pictures. I'm so happy that I found this, It's truly been life changing for my Mom!
P300 Phone with 18-dB Amplification.......2007-12-09
Excellent choice for people that are in need of more than just a regular phone when you have hearing problems!!!
We have one of these mounted on the wall in the kitchen and my wife Loves it since she wears hearing ads and this phone is in fact for people like her with hearing problems. You have nine places you can post a picture of the person/s you call the most, then program that Picture/button for that phone number, so all you need to do is press that picture to call that person, sure makes it nice when your in a hurry!!
Works just fine, as described.......2007-10-19
I was a little skeptical about purchasing this product based on other reviews that cited technical snafus, but since my need for big buttons as well as big speed dial buttons outweighed the potential problems, I bought it and it has worked for my mother exactly as described.
Great product for the price........2007-06-08
This telephone has really helped my elderly father. He especially likes the 'light up' feature when the phone rings. Also, he can increase the volume to where he can hear it. After pricing other similar phones, I was leary because of the relative inexpensive price; I think it is quality equipment.
A unique product with just ok quality.......2007-01-19
I purchased this as an xmas gift for my grandmother, who has Alzheimers. While the concept is good, the execution is a little off. The phone feels very cheap, and I imagine it won't hold up to too many falls off the nightstand. The worst problem, however, is its lack of battery for memory -- it loses its programming every time it's unplugged!
A smart company would produce a similar product with a higher standard of quality and make out like a bandit.

Very pleased.......2007-10-17
I ordered the phone for my grandpa who has hearing loss. He loves it and can hear better on it than talking to him in person.
Excellent for older person with hearing loss.......2007-09-18
We got this for my 95 year old great aunt. I wish we'd gotten it years ago, it makes a big difference.
Ameriphone XL40 Phone .......2007-01-09
This phone was purchased as a gift for my father, who cannot hear as well as he once could. I set it up for him and installed it. Setup was easy, including programming of numbers. THe phoe works well, and I think he hears better because I find I am not repeating myself as often.
Ameriphone XL40 Phone .......2006-11-10
This item was purchased for my elderly aunt who had a serious problem hearing me on the phone. It has been amazing how effective this phone has been. She no longer asks me to repeat anything and the controls are easy for her to operate. I should have purchased this long ago.

Good for Almost Deaf.......2007-10-07
My mother is almost completely deaf and has a hard time even with hearing aids. She can use this phone with or without the hearing aids. I do get a slight clicking on my end but it's not loud enough to be annoying. It's a good buy for hearing impaired.
Great volume and clarity.......2007-05-12
This phone is appropriately named. I have just given this to my elderly mother, so it has not yet had much use, but so far she is very pleased. She can hear much better than on any other "volume control" phone we have tried for her... and there is much more volume available that she has not used. She didn't think any phone could reach a volume "too loud" for her. Her hearing loss is significant in the high register, so the tone adjustment is also a nice benefit. This phone has many excellent features.
Great Gift for someone hard of hearing.......2007-03-13
Got a senior relative that won't wear a hearing aid, but doesn't always hear the phone ringing? And can't quite catch all of the conversation when they do answer the phone? I did, got them this phone for a gift and it has helped a great deal. Directions to assemble the base it sits on are kind of cryptic so you might want to be there to help them set it up, but once it's going it works great -- nice and loud, but not annoyingly so.

Easy product to use, much easier phone conversations.......2007-10-10
I purchased this phone for my dad, who has hearing aids (and always seems to be having problems with them) and is in a nursing home. For an older person who may have trouble figuring out phones with lots programmable buttons/features, this phone was a really good choice. The phone had features that I wanted (easy keypad, speed dial buttons, volume control, amplification/clarity features), but not lots of extras that I know he either won't use or understand how to use. The speed dial buttons are easy to figure out (a family member programmed them for him) and are helpful for him, since he finds remembering numbers (or locating them/dialing them in) difficult. The best part of this phone is that I can now have an almost normal conversation with him, whereas before we used to spend a good deal of time repeating ourselves, then sometimes giving up. In fact, I was pleasantly shocked to have the first conversation with him and find that instead of asking me what I said, he just continued right on with a reply to what I was saying! I do wish it had a speakerphone feature, but the fact that we can have a normal conversation makes up for that.
Ameriphone XL 50........2007-09-09
I tried several phones for the hearing impared and did not find a satisfactory one till I purchased the Ameriphone XL 50. This is a product that certainly meets my needs. I can highly recomend it. Very easy to set up.
Good Phone.......2007-07-13
I bought this phone for my dad who was significant hearing loss from nerve deafness and old age. He is deaf in his right ear and has about 30% of his hearing in the left. He can hear the phone ring easily and likes the big buttons. He can now talk to my four-year-old niece on the phone with no difficulty. Which is great because she lives in Canada and he doesn't get to see her very often. This is a good product.
Review of Ameriphone XL50 Phone.......2007-06-16
The phone does amplify; but you have to balance the tone with the volume or you'll end up with a very garbled amplification.
Works great with a neck loop.......2007-03-10
This is an excellent phone for the hearing impaired. A couple of minor complaints. There are three ringer settings but no on-off switch. And the audio jack requires a 1/8" mono plug. If you use a neck loop with this phone (with your telecoil switch), you will have to get two Radio Shack adapters if you lose the one that comes with the phone.

SUCT!.......2007-12-02
It amplified minimally.
I bought a similar gizmo at radio shack for $19.99 that worked much better.
Terrific!.......2007-12-01
I'm slightly hard of hearing in my right ear, and finally got tired of constantly asking people to repeat themselves and straining to hear things in meetings at work. I got this Personal Listener Plus last week and have been enjoying it immensely. I can hear everything in meetings, across the table in restaurants, and watching TV and listening to my stereo is a completely new experience. I never realized how much I was really missing. It's lightweight and fits neatly in my breast pocket. I don't bother with the rechargable batteries, so there are no problems there for me. This is obviously not meant to be a " super deluxe" instrument, but for the price it's terrific.
It works as advertised.......2007-05-13
I have worn a hearing aid since age 12 (47 now) and I am the Medical Director for a Hospice. At our weekly team meeting I just cannot hear what is being said at the other end of the 5 tables that are put together. This device has allowed me to enjoy the meetings. May actually allow me to keep this job. If only they could connect it to the headphone via bluetooth so as not to be tethered to the cord. But in all fairness to the company that makes this device, they do ship it with an extension cord to the earpiece so I am really not complaining.
Not of any help.......2007-04-18
The company offering this product is good and they may have other products which may be of great value, but this personal listner is no good. The microphone is of low sensitivity and the other person will have to talk right on the microphone for it to catch the sound waves. Also when the unit is in the pocket and the earphone on the ear, the microphone and the ear speaker resonate and make a loud Coooooo sound. This is not a pratical solution to a person who is really hard of hearing.
Guardedly delighted.......2007-03-21
I purchased this product with some trepidation because the other reviews I saw called it tinny and junk. But it was sold through enough reputable places and offered such a promising solution to my aged and cheap ("I'm not going to pay $5000 for a hearing aide; how many years do you think I have left?") aunt's hearing loss that I decided to give it a try. My aunt is virtually deaf, but this product could be turned so loud that she asked me to turn it down. For the first time in two years I could carry on a normal-voice-level conversation; I didn't have to scream in her ear. And her perception of what I said was 100% accurate as opposed to about 50% when I was screaming.
The product does not strike me as very durable, but it is not junk either. So far -- a few weeks of irregular use -- it has been 100% reliable.

Okay phone but missing some critical features.......2007-07-19
I bought this phone for an elderly relative who is both hard of hearing and has memory issues. While the phone does amplify adequately, it requires you to push a boost button every time you receive a call in order to turn on the amplification. This was not acceptable in our situation nor was it mentioned in the description of the product. I called the manufacturer and they told me that their higher end models have an override capability in which you can leave the amplification on permanently. This phone also does not have any speed dial buttons. I had to return this phone and get a different model.
Pros & Cons.......2007-06-19
Pros: Great for elderly - loud ring, large loud buttons, light flashes when rings, amplifies incoming sound, hangs on wall in kitchen (minimal space), easy to use, person on other end can hear you perfectly
Cons: There's a bit of an echo or something (probably with all that amplification) that you hear a bit of yourself. My parents say it's ok, but I want them to have a great phone. They love the other features.... so it's kind of a toss up...

Wonderful Product.......2007-08-13
We have tried several other ringers, that were not even close to the quality of this product. It allows you to pick different pitches, which is essential for the person needing to hear the ringer. Also, I was concerned that it would be too loud for others in the household, but that proved not to be a problem. Wonderful Product!
Ameriphone Loud Ringer.......2006-08-13
Excellent Product - would highly recommend. Easy Set Up and No Maintenance
Would Highly Recomment This Ringer.......2006-02-22
This is a great ringer. It is louder than others and has a variety of pitches to choose from. I needed this for my aging mother who is hard of hearing. This is perfect. If there are hearing clinics or senior agencies looking for one, this is it!

Very Over-rated Phone.......2007-05-15
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
Nice phone but.......2007-01-11
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.

Great phone, except..........2007-11-07
This phone is more than loud enough, that's for sure. It also has all the features you would expect, except for one whose absence renders the phone almost useless. I'm referring to a simple mute button. Let's say you're talking and you have to cough or clear your throat. No mute button, so you put your hand over the mouthpiece to muffle the sound. Well, if the boost is on (which is why you bought the phone in the first place), covering the mouthpiece results in immediate, ear-piercing feedback, which both you and the other party can hear. How could a phone that has all the bells and whistles be missing a mute button? How much would it have added to the price of the phone, $1?? So now I'm having to order a headset simply because it has a mute button. But guess what? The phone has a 2.5mm headset jack, which is typical for a cellular phone, but not a regular phone. So your choices for headsets are severely limited. The manual recommends the Plantronics M110, but that's a monaural headset, not binaural, which I prefer. It's also been discontinued. I just ordered a headset from amazon, but the ad strangely doesn't specify a brand or model number. It does say it's been discontinued, so it might be the M110. Either way, it's ridiculous to have to do all this just to have a mute button. I wish I would have returned the phone and gotten a regular phone with a mute button and a good binaural headset, which would have allowed me to hear just as well as the boost feature.

Major Design Flaws.......2007-07-13
The buttons are huge, but if you press them anywhere but in the exact center they don't work. Talk about frustrating! Also, the other reviewer was dead-on: sound quality is terrible. Plus, the answering machine cuts off phone messages after ten seconds.
Don't believe the hype about this phone!.......2006-10-02
I used one of these for about 2 years before a lightning strike finally gave it a death blow. The phone, as designed, has serious deficiencies. As claimed, you can dial up the volume, but it is not clearer as advertised. Think in terms of a very cheap speaker turned up to high volume. The louder it is the more difficult it is to understand.
The answering macine barely worked when it was new. Messages were often garbled to the point of not being understandable. A glaring design flaw is that there is no way to pick up your calls from a remote location. You can't call in and get your messages. You have to go to where the phone is located to hear the messages. This falls into the realm of, "what were they thinking,' when they designed the answering system. What if you're 500 miles away and want to call in for your messages?
It has large buttons, which is a good thing, however, they are more difficult to push down than other phones.
Look elsewhere for a phone and anwsering system. This phone has a high price for what is really a very cheaply built product. Amazon is to be commended for not having this product available (as of this writing). I expect that most would be returned.
