This answering machine can have its volume increased up to 30dB louder than the original message and includes the ability to slow messages down for better comprehension. The Digital Amplified Answering Machine by ClearSounds is an accessible and highly useful tool that helps people with hearing impairment and people who have trouble understanding messages get a better opportunity to hear their messages and get what they mean. With the ability to increase the original message volume by an additional 30dB, this device amplifies the volume of the original message which can help hearing-impaired people, especially when the person leaving the messages speaks softer. The ability to slow down messages by 50% can also help in the event of slower comprehension or if the person leaving the message speaks too fast.
