TV Listeners for the Hard of Hearing Never Looked So Stylish or Sounded so Loud

A press release:

Geemarc Introduces the New CL7400 Wireless Headset for Television, DVD players, HiFi, Audio/MP3 players and PCs

London, 17 September 2013 – Geemarc Telecom, a leader in the design and manufacture of assistive devices for the Deaf and the Hard of Hearing, today announced a new wireless TV listener headset which puts style firmly on the agenda for anyone with hearing loss. Delivering clear digital sound, the headset can significantly increase the volume, balance and tonality on TVs, DVD players, audio devices and PCs for the wearer, without other people in the room being affected.

“One in six people have impaired hearing with the most dramatic deterioration starting at around 50 years of age, although many people even younger live with hearing loss. But hard of hearing doesn’t mean design and style should be compromised. The new CL7400 is the high-quality, fully featured solution for those that want to look good when wearing a TV listening headset,” says Andrew Grossman, Managing Director, Geemarc Telecom S.A.

Geemarc’s 40 years’ experience in the design and manufacture of assistive listening devices can be seen in essential details such as: the tone adjustment feature, which clarifies difficult to hear high treble or bass voices and sounds; the ability to turn off stereo and channel mono sound through just one earpiece; and the fact that once chosen, settings are intentionally quite hard to change and therefore cannot easily be lost.
