The Geemarc CL3 is a particularly good headset for hearing aid users who have hearing aids fitted with a ‘T’ setting. It can also be used as a standard headset by non hearing aid users. The binaural headset is worn 'as normal' over the ears and has inductive coils in the earpieces. There is a boom microphone and an in-line volume control.

The ScreenPhone is ideal for people who want to voice their call but can no longer hear the response and find textphones too complicated.

The idea behind the ScreenPhone is simple - you can speak your part of the call as usual but at the press of a button you can receive your caller's conversation back in words on a screen (using Text Relay operator*).

The Geemarc AmpliDect 230 is a digital cordless phone, with answerphone offering noticeably better reception than an analogue phone – however, it is not hearing aid compatible and cannot be used with a neckloop. Therefore, it is useful for those who just want a bit of extra volume but we do not recommend this phone for use by hearing aid wearers.

The Geemarc AmpliDect 220 is the same as the AmpliDect 230 model, but without the answer phone feature. It is a digital cordless phone offering noticeably better reception than an analogue phone – however, it is not hearing aid compatible and cannot be used with a neckloop. Therefore, it is useful for those who just want a bit of extra volume but we do not recommend this phone for use by hearing aid wearers.

In our view the Geemarc AmpliPOWER 40 is a measurable improvement on the already successful CL200+ which it replaces. It's level of amplification is very good, especially with the boost button and the hands free speakerphone facility is a useful, popular feature. The tone control is also helpful for those with a hearing loss.

The AmpliPOWER 40 is a top of the range domestic model with excellent performance and some good features specifically for deaf people.
