Clarity Introduces Three New Products to Help Combat Different Degrees of Hearing Loss

- New Products Feature Clarity® Power™ Technology and Hearing Aid Compatibility -

Chattanooga, TN – Clarity, a division of Plantronics, Inc. (NYSE: PLT) and the nation’s leading supplier of amplified telephones, today announced the official wide release of three Clarity® Products – the C320™ and the C200™ and the Clarity Professional® C4105™.

“At Clarity we are constantly trying to develop innovative products that have the ability to revolutionize life for those suffering through hearing loss,” said Carsten Trads, president of Clarity. “It’s important that we offer a variety of products because hearing loss affects everyone differently. These three products each serve unique purposes to address the specific needs of the consumer.”

The Clarity C320™ is a corded telephone with a built-in digital answering machine that allows messages to be played back either through the external speaker or the telephone handset. This product is ideal for people with mild to moderate hearing loss who are also in need of an answering machine.

The Clarity C200™ is the first corded trim line telephone offered by Clarity. The new trim line design has a dial on the handset of the phone instead of on the base, making the phone convenient to use. The phone also features a large, lighted dial pad and features up to 26 dB of amplification.

The C4105™ is part of the Clarity Professional® product line, which focuses on individuals with moderate to severe hearing loss. The C4105™ is a 2.4 GHz cordless telephone offering up to 40 dB of amplification and three different audio tone selections for personal customization.

As a pioneer and leading supplier of communications technology for the hearing loss community, Clarity’s products are designed to reconnect individuals who suffer from hearing loss with their families, friends and co-workers.
