Can you Hear me Now?

I was contemplating different gifts for parents who already have everything they could ever need when I came across the greatest thing; a cell phone that was designed and manufactured with the elderly in mind.

The problem with regular cell phones is the buttons are so small and the volume is too low. My parents are in their 80s and have a great deal of trouble hearing and seeing. The cell phone they had was almost useless for them because they just couldn’t see the buttons or hear what anybody was saying. I got them a cellphone with large buttons that are easy to see and push. It has a very loud speaker, both for the ringer and for the ear piece.

It’s about time somebody made a cellphone for elderly people; for too many years they were left out of the market. My parents both still drive so I felt it was very important that they have a cell phone that is easy and actually useful for them to use. They shouldn’t have to strain their eyes and ears to be able to reach somebody should they need us. This was probably one of the best gifts I could have given my parents and I really hope they keep making these phones with the elderly in mind.

My father called me the other day from his new cell phone. He said he could hear me great through the earpiece; I don’t know why more companies couldn’t design an amplified cellphone like the one I got my parents. I think the major cell phone companies really dropped the ball on this one. They are always catering to the young people in society and completely forgot about all of us who only want a phone that makes and receives calls effortlessly.
