Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Ameriphone XL50 Phone with 60-dB Amplification and Large Keypad (White)
Customer Review: Excellent phone for severely impaired hearing.
Summary: 5 Stars
My mother had a severe hearing impairment, so I contacted several groups for the hearing impaired. They recommended this phone. I purchased a phone for my mother and it was one of the things which truly enhanced the quality of her life.
I have just purchased and installed another for my sister-in-law who has a severe hearing impairment. As with my mother, she has much greater comprehension when on the phone.
Having easy to use volume and tone controls is very helpful. Changing the tone to match the hearing loss is as important as the degree of amplification. I consider it the best feature of the phone.
The ringer can also be set to different levels. The loud setting can be heard by anyone with an impairment. There is also a blinking light when there is ringing.
There are only two drawbacks to this phone. First, although the phone can be programmed for one button calls, but the stations are quite small. If a person is visually impaired the stations could be very hard to read without some sort of magnification. Fewer stations could probably be better in that the print identifying the station could be larger. Second, the backup batteries used for sound amplification if power is lost, are difficult to put in. It is good that they are unlikely to be utilized since they may be are hard to replace.
I don't consider the drawbacks of the phone serious, but for elderly people with limited physical skills, someone else will have to help set up the phone.
Description of Ameriphone XL50 Phone with 60-dB Amplification and Large Keypad (White)
Ameriphone uses the latest communications technologies to develop superior-quality products that truly meet the unique needs of its customers. The XL-50 model features a powerful amplifier that increases incoming sounds up to 60 dB for extra loud and clear conversations. An adjustable tone control lets you customize the amplifier for optimum word clarity; it makes similar sounding words crystal clear and easier to understand. The amplifier can be set to turn on automatically or manually every time you lift the handset. The XL-50 also features an audio output jack for connection to a headset, a neck loop or a cochlear implant. The phone's extra-bright ring flasher and super loud ringer (95 + dB) with adjustable tone let you know when your phone is ringing and a Missed Call Indicator lets you know that you have missed a call.Digital Cameras and Photo Categories
