Excellent fo what we use it for... by Paul M. Kankula (Seneca, SC)  4 Stars
November 12, 2009
My wife can't hear in one ear and has 50% hearing loss in the other. So ... it's very difficult for her to hear - even using a $6,000 hearing aid.
Clarity sells a CE-30 Neck-Loop, which triggers her hearing aid T-coil feature. Normally we plug her telephones headphone output into this unit and she can hear OK using her Clarity cord & cordless phones.
The BIG JOY in her life came when she got her Clarity PL-100. Normally we plug the PL-100 output into her CE-30 neck-loop input. Then she holds the PL-100 in her hand or sits it on top of a table. Replacing the batteries in the CE-30 is difficult for her. So there are times when she simply uses the supplied PL-100 ear-hook and clips it next to her hearing aid for extended use. Both methods seem to work OK. When sitting at a large table, she puts the extension cord on the microphone and puts it in the center of the table.
Supplied 600mah batteries seem to operate typically for 3 days. I'm in the process of replacing them with 800mah Sanyo eneloop batteries - 4 only cost 10 bucks.
Warning: These products are not made in the US by Clarity. The CE-30 and PL-100 are made by 2 different Chinese vendors. It's what I call Typical Chinese Cheap Junk. Our PL-100 unit lasted 1 week and then croaked. One of the batteries came shorted out. The foam cushion on the ear-hook fell apart when touched.
NOW ... with all that negative stuff gotten out of the way, these are wonder little devices..! My wife loves them so much, that we have just ordered a backup PL-100. It would have been nice if the there was a optional directional mic offered - the one supplied is for 360 degree sound. Maybe one off a tape recorder will work. It also would have been nice if you didn't have to remove a small Phillips screw in order to replace the CE-30 batteries. These little devices have REALLY ADDED TO MY WIFE's QUALITY OF LIFE................!

Clarity Personal listener by TerryM. (Kentucky) 4 Stars
August 26, 2009
The Clarity is a fair device to try for trouble hearing in crowds or around ambient noise. Next best thing to an in ear device. Bugaboos of the device are: The little microphone cover falls off easily and is lost, requires frequent tone dial changes depending on speech from males or females, does not come with a convenient method of wearing around the neck (which is most likely where you'll want to wear it). Overall I do not regret the purchase. It has helped me immensely in my frequent meetings, allowing me to hear people all around a large room.

Clarity PL100 by W. Marsh  5 Stars
August 12, 2009
Working with Amazon always works well. Clarity PL100 personal listener works as described. I've previously spent over $12,000 for hearing aids that do not solve my hearing problems in group conversations. The PL100 does. I'm very pleased.

Feedback from device terrible by S. Ramsay  1 Stars
April 03, 2009
This device has terrible feedback (high pitch noise) which could significantly harm hearing. It picks up all the noise in a room, so you hear a door close, people's conversation as much as the TV or music. When a door was closed, there was a huge bang sound in my ear. I was afraid I would lose whatever hearing I had left. I sent it right back

worthless by P. Callen 1 Stars
December 03, 2008
This item did not work. It didn't just not work well, it did not work at all. A waste of time and shipping, and a big disappointment to my deaf mother in a nursing home who just wanted to hear her tv.
If I could have given it minus ten stars, I would have. Or a star going nova...you've got the idea. and yes, we tried brand new batteries. The THING IS DEAD. And yes, I returned it.
