Our Solution: The New Series of Cell Phones For Seniors!
In searching for a cell phone for many seniors you might know, one of theprime assets to consider is the ability to work well with their hearing aid device(s).
Normal cell phones, by their nature (and what bandwidth they are transmitting and receiving on) give out signals that interfere with the normal operation of hearing aids or other electronic devices used by older people. The interference is usually presented as heavy noise or scratchy sounds that tend to drive the user nuts.
Presently, however, most major corporations of cell phone affiliates are required to offer hearing aid harmonious phones, that for the most part, eliminate this problem.
Ultimately, even for those whose hearing isn't gone, but also, isn't good, these devices currently have sound amplification, so you won't have to strive to hear an improvement.
For those whose vision is marred or getting that way quickly, the new phones have large keys or buttons (almost 1/2" square) , which make them more comfortable for seniors to actually use.
And for seniors that use the "smart phones" (the ones with data and internet access, their screens have been made larger and those screens now offer zoom enlargements for the capacity to read text better.
Lastly, for those seniors that are desquited about being alone, in their abode, or not being able to summon someone to help them in that desperate time of urgent demand, when something happens and no one is around, this is the item for you.
The new cell phone for seniors has a asset called an SOS key. This key gives the capacity to the senior to summon help (for emergency services), or a specific pre-set number (like that of a friend or relative) with only one push of an large button.
This in itself will save the lives and/or extend the lives of many people! Think of the safety impact of just this one asset! Built-in GPS software, is the prime thing that brings the emergency operations people to be able to find the party, in need.
These new phones have convenient built-in software, such as large menus to assist the owner in using their phone, as well, the ability to talk to live support helpers that can help them with the phone programs and how to use those features as well as other important phone questions.
For someone that grew up with technology, this really doesn't seem like too big a deal, however for most seniors and people not growing up in the techology time, take my word for it, this is a huge asset.
People increasing in age today, have today's science and technology, to give cudos to for these new cell phones for seniors. Without it, these phones couldn't have that GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) capability, so that with one push of a button, needed help, not only could arrive, but know exactly your location, on time.
Older, fatigued, eyes can see the controls better on these portable phones and the older man or woman can hear better and more understandably, thanks to the new hearing aid combatability answers brought to us by this new technology.
