"Whether they're watching the news, enjoying a movie or cheering on their favorite sports team, the C120 provides a simple, yet effective solution for dads with hearing loss," said Carsten Trads, president of Clarity. "People with hearing loss tend to raise the televisions' volume, often to unhealthy levels. The wireless headset eliminates that practice so the entire family can comfortably watch TV together. Really, it's a two-in-one device: it helps solve the effects of hearing loss for the user while potentially preventing future hearing loss in others. Plus, the multiple functions make it a tech gadget that dad will want to use everywhere."

In addition to amplifying the TV, the C120 provides high fidelity stereo sound from stereos and MP3 players. Also, the headset features an "away" setting that allows users to receive transmissions (95kHz) from public infrared systems, such as those used in museums, movie theaters and houses of worship.

The headset offers adjustable volume, tone and balance and contains an automatic shutoff. Telephone call notification is also available. By simply connecting a telephone line to the C120 base, listeners will receive notification through the headset when the phone rings. Two rechargeable batteries provide up to eight hours of listening time.
