Giving Seniors a New Pal for the Holidays
CHATTANOOGA, TN, Nov 13, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Staying connected with family and friends, while important
throughout the year, becomes even more meaningful around the winter
holidays. Clarity's Pal(TM), a new cellphone designed specifically
for older consumers with hearing loss, helps to ensure holiday
greetings come through -- ringing, singing or speaking -- loud and
clear.
With 25 decibels of amplification, Pal is an ideal solution for the
36 million aging Americans with hearing loss. In lieu of unnecessary
apps, Pal is built with features specific to the needs of older
consumers such as amplified sound, large and illuminated dial pad and
a one-touch emergency button. Importantly, the phone is compatible
with hearing aids, and its boost and adjustable tone control buttons
give users the option to customize their listening experience to
their particular degree of hearing loss.
Pal is an unlocked GSM phone that customers can use with the wireless
phone service of their choice. To learn more about and order Pal
online for $99, go to www.claritypal.com.
Clarity, a division of Plantronics (NYSE: PLT), launched Pal in May
2012, receiving positive remarks from reviewers and individual users
alike. PC Magazine wrote, "...if you have trouble hearing, and want
the loudest phone possible, the Clarity Pal can't be beat." Others
agreed:
"[Pal] is a good choice for family members who want a simple phone
and might appreciate a little (or a lot) of extra volume." - Dallas
Morning News
"For those interested in a simple, easy-to-use device, either for
themselves or for a loved one, the Pal may be a good fit." - CNET
"[Pal] offers help for those of us with fading hearing and fading
sight." - Tech Goes Strong
"Finding the right gift for an older parent or grandparent isn't easy
in a world where most products are aimed at younger generations,"
said Carsten Trads, president of Clarity. "Our cellphone Pal is a
'senior-smart' choice because it addresses common concerns people
face as they age from hearing and vision loss to safety and security.
Most importantly, Pal keeps seniors in touch with friends and
relatives this holiday season and throughout the year."
About Clarity Pal(TM)
Clarity Pal(TM) is the clear and simple mobile
phone designed with the senior in mind. In addition to 25 decibels of
amplification, Pal features a large, 2-inch LCD color display with
bright, oversized characters so users can easily navigate the device.
With talking caller ID and vibrating and flashing visual ringers, Pal
users know who is trying to reach them and when. While the
cellphone's bold, illuminated dial pad with large buttons makes
dialing easier, its Talk Back feature speaks the numbers as the user
dials to further ensure accuracy. Pal also offers a one-touch red
heart button that will call and send text messages to five
pre-programmed numbers, instantly connecting users to loved ones or
caregivers in the case of an emergency. Learn more at
