Answer Phones For The Hard of Hearing

The market for products for the hard of hearing is constantly growing and developing. It is no longer predominantly concentrated on the production of different types of hearing aids, but is trying to meet the growing demand for additional products that offer further benefits and provide help for the hearing impaired. Some examples are amplified phones with answering machines or stand-alone answering machines specifically designed to be used by people suffering from hearing loss. Hearing Direct offers a wide range of different types of devices to choose from. Amplicomms PowerTel 2880 is a very easy to use product that is fully compatible with the BT phone lines and the different types of cordless phones. The many features of this machine ensure that the user will be able to clearly hear the messages they receive. The play back volume can be increased to up to 40dB by simply pressing a handy boost button and the tone can also be easily adjusted. The device can be connected to a head set and there is also the possibility to call the machine and receive the messages remotely making it very convenient. Another useful feature is the option to play a message at a slower speed without disturbing the quality of sound, by using the easy-grip wheel.
