THE HAMMACHER SCHLEMMER INSTITUTE ANNOUNCES THE BEST CORDED CLARITY TELEPHONE.

New York, NY, October 1st, 2009 - Hammacher Schlemmer announces the selection of The Best Corded Clarity Telephone chosen by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute over other models for its superior sound quality, ease of use, and features.

The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute conducts systematic testing of leading products, often working in concert with experts, independent laboratories, or consumer panels to analyze results and determine which products are "The Best."

The Best Corded Clarity Telephone amplified voices by 55 dB, far superior to other models that only increased volume by 20 to 30 dB.

While competing telephones only adjusted volume, The Best Corded Clarity Telephone also reduces low-frequency noise that causes interference and distortion (such as air conditioning or static), creating a clear sound more conducive to conversations.

"The Best Corded Clarity Telephone produced the clearest sound of any model and did not demonstrate the echoing and static that was present during calls using other clarity telephones," stated Tara-Ann Dugan, Product Research Manager.

The Best Corded Clarity Telephone has an integrated answering machine that proved to play messages with the same high-level sound and clarity as the handset. The telephone had the largest, easiest-to-read numbers and eight buttons that can be preset to contact emergency services, family members, or other important people with just a touch.

The Best Corded Clarity Telephone?s superior features included a caller identification that announces the names of incoming calls, an audible keypad, and easy-to-use hearing aid compatibility. The Best Corded Clarity Telephone is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $189.95. For more information, please visit www.hammacher.com or call 1-800-543-3366.
