I remember when my grandfather started to lose his hearing. He would just make us yell directly into his ear so talking to family wasn’t that big a deal for him. What really made him mad was not being able to hear The Price is Right and Heehaw. Back then there was nothing to do for him but crank the volume.

Today technology is available to help dads or granddads with this problem. Keeping with the Father’s Day theme the Clarity C120 is the perfect gadget for the hard of hearing. If your dad/granddad watches Heehaw this is as much a gift for you as it is for them. We took a look at the Clarity C120 when it was first announced back in 2007 as well.

The C120 includes a wireless headset that amplifies TV, music or phone calls. The device is capable of amplifying volume by 50dB and is powered by a pair of batteries that each provide up to 4 hours of listening. To preserve the battery power the C120 shuts itself off automatically when not in use. Just the C120 headset retails for $189.95, a kit with the C120 and a wireless TV mic sells for $229.90.
