Clarity, a division of Plantronics
(NYSE: PLT),
creates
smart communication solutions that help seniors live richer, more
engaged lives. Founded more than 40 years ago, Clarity is the world
leader in amplified telephones, notification systems and assistive
listening devices.
Clarity produces seven distinct lines of products and services: Clarity®,
Clarity Professional®,
ClarityLife™,
Clarity AlertMaster®,
ClarityLogic™,
Ameriphone®
and Walker®
handset / test sets.
The company’s innovative communication products are all designed to help people
with hearing loss, low vision, limited mobility, dexterity issues and other health challenges.
As the industry leader, Clarity has pioneered many firsts. In 2005, Clarity became
the first company to integrate the digital sound processing from hearing aids into a standard phone when it launched Digital
Clarity Power™.
This patented technology gives users unmatched sound performance and
comfort, and further established Clarity as the industry’s leading
innovator
in sound technology.
In 2010, Clarity set another industry first when it launched ClarityLogic™,
the first and only remote access technology for telephones that allows
customer representatives to access and make adjustments for the user.
ClarityLogic enables customer reps to program a new number into the
phonebook, customize speed dial or adjust amplification—all
remotely. This cutting-edge service, which received the Digium
Innovation Award
in 2011, minimizes product returns and makes the customer service
process easier for seniors who have a difficult time hearing,
remembering
and performing complex, technical instructions given over the phone.
Clarity
products can be found everywhere. Available at RadioShack, Meijer and
other
national retail outlets, and specialty distributors, Clarity offers a
diverse series of amplified telephones and personal accessories
customized for a range of needs, including mild to moderate or severe
hearing loss.
From
California to Florida, Clarity products are also available across the
US via
state telecommunications access programs which provide amplified
telephones, notification systems, and TTYs at no cost to US residents
with certified hearing loss.
Clarity
continues to receive national recognition for its dedication and
leadership
in providing solutions to seniors and others with health challenges. The
company was the first amplified telephone manufacturer to receive the Arthritis
Foundation’s Ease-of-Use commendation and today three different product lines carry the AF’s endorsement. The ClarityLife
C900
cellphone, introduced in 2008, has received positive reviews from the
Wall Street Journal and USA Today. ClarityLogic has been featured by the
New York
Times, AARP and CNET. Several Clarity amplified phones have been
showcased on national broadcast shows like NBC’s The TODAY Show, CBS’
The Early Show and ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
In
2011, Clarity expanded its capabilities by building a new headquarters
in Chattanooga,
TN, complete with a state-of-the-art acoustic sciences lab. As a
division of the technology leader Plantronics, Clarity has access
resources across the globe in Santa Cruz, California, Mexico and China
that will allow the company to further raise the bar in
its industry.
Simply put, Clarity is where seniors find innovation for their communication needs.
For four decades strong, millions continue to rely on Clarity to communicate at home, at work and throughout their lives.
