Canta’s Laser technology enhances important speech cues. It continuously reduces undesired noise while desired sounds are brought more sharply into focus. So Canta not only recognizes speech more quickly but also boosts amplification only at the instant when speech is present. This device reacts quickly and it reduces the volume of background noise, even between the syllables of spoken words.

The result is superior sound quality, optimum speech clarity and a new level of listening comfort. Feature for feature, nothing compares with the technological breakthroughs available in this fine product.

We have had enthusiastic response to our new Assistive Listening Devices. These devices include:

Amplified telephones have a volume control and many special features including redial, hold and memory dials. Amplified cordless phones with special features are also available.

TV listening devices with wireless technology allow your family members to hear the television at a normal volume level while you listen at the volume you prefer. Simply plug the transmitter directly into your TV and enjoy listening through your personal headset.

Personal amplifiers offer one-to-one assistive listening for the hearing impaired. These systems provide a microphone and an amplifier with an attach cord. The speaker talks into the microphone while a listener wears a headset and speaks through the amplifier.

Sonic Alert products are designed to help people with impaired hearing stay in touch with the world around them. This is done by flashing lights around the home or office to let you know when the doorbell or telephone is ringing, your baby is crying, or your alarm has gone off.

The Sonic Boom Alarm Clock, a unique clock guaranteed to wake up even the heaviest sleepers, combines an audio alarm, flashing lights and a vibrator to assure wake-up alert.

Many of these products work with any lamp you may already have in your home. Simply plug the lamp into any outlet on the product and the new system is ready to use.
