Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Clarity Professional PL100 Personal Listener Plus
Customer Review: Excellent fo what we use it for...
Summary: 4 Stars
My wife can't hear in one ear and has 50% hearing loss in the other. So ... it's very difficult for her to hear - even using a $6,000 hearing aid.
Clarity sells a CE-30 Neck-Loop, which triggers her hearing aid T-coil feature. Normally we plug her telephones headphone output into this unit and she can hear OK using her Clarity cord & cordless phones.
The BIG JOY in her life came when she got her Clarity PL-100. Normally we plug the PL-100 output into her CE-30 neck-loop input. Then she holds the PL-100 in her hand or sits it on top of a table. Replacing the batteries in the CE-30 is difficult for her. So there are times when she simply uses the supplied PL-100 ear-hook and clips it next to her hearing aid for extended use. Both methods seem to work OK. When sitting at a large table, she puts the extension cord on the microphone and puts it in the center of the table.
Supplied 600mah batteries seem to operate typically for 3 days. I'm in the process of replacing them with 800mah Sanyo eneloop batteries - 4 only cost 10 bucks.
Warning: These products are not made in the US by Clarity. The CE-30 and PL-100 are made by 2 different Chinese vendors. It's what I call Typical Chinese Cheap Junk. Our PL-100 unit lasted 1 week and then croaked. One of the batteries came shorted out. The foam cushion on the ear-hook fell apart when touched.
NOW ... with all that negative stuff gotten out of the way, these are wonder little devices..! My wife loves them so much, that we have just ordered a backup PL-100. It would have been nice if the there was a optional directional mic offered - the one supplied is for 360 degree sound. Maybe one off a tape recorder will work. It also would have been nice if you didn't have to remove a small Phillips screw in order to replace the CE-30 batteries. These little devices have REALLY ADDED TO MY WIFE's QUALITY OF LIFE................!
