Easy-to-use phones for the elderly or those with hearing and visual problems
The Spanish society is constantly changing, presenting an index of increasing aging of its population and with it a large number of people who, as a consequence of their advanced age, suffer from a deterioration of their visual and hearing health.

The increase of people suffering from this type of problem is a reality, and it is necessary that products specially designed to improve the quality of life in these sectors are designed



The company Audioactive in its vocation to improve communication between people and being an online store aimed at those suffering from hearing or visual problems, has a wide range of mobile, fixed and wireless phones for the elderly or those with hearing loss or visual

In its virtual shop you can find a wide range of telephone terminals of the best brands in the sector such as Doro, Geemarc or Amplicomms. These are specific telephones for this type of problems, for example, mobile phones for older people, which are very easy to use, with specific characteristics such as larger keys or quick dialing, which allows more accessible handling and the possibility of be communicated at all times, regardless of the limitations produced by changes in the senses such as sight, hearing and even touch.

Some models, such as the Geemarc in the photo, have 4 direct dial keys with customizable photo, as well as functions such as conversation amplification up to 22 dB, others like the Serenities are designed for people with hearing or visual problems, as well as helping in cases emergency when the user is in difficulties in their home. It has an emergency transmitter that, if activated, will automatically call 5 pre-programmed telephone numbers, sending an automatic emergency message through the SOS button on the wristband.

Audioactive offers from telephones with amplification of the conversation and the timbre for the deaf or with hearing problems, to telephones with special keys and very simple menus for people with visual problems or other type of problems related to the age; even, many of these phones can be regulated in bass and treble for a perfect hearing in those who suffer from hearing loss.

All models of mobile and fixed phones are compatible with people who use hearing aids or hearing aids.

Mobiles for adults, how to make the ideal choice
When we have to choose a telephone terminal we must think at all times of the person who will use it. It is obvious that a young digital native is not the same as someone who is elderly or has hearing problems. Smartphones for the elderly or for people with hearing impairment have special characteristics that make them unique.

Large phones, keys and larger buttons with screens that read well with large symbols.
Higher volume levels, normal terminals do not serve people with hearing problems.
Easy to use with simple menus but with Internet browsing capabilities and location systems.
In short, when you need to choose a telephony solution for someone with special needs, think that not all the equipment of current use will be useful for them.
These characteristics such as, greater volume of the timbre and of the loudspeaker, the integration with hearing aids or keys easier to see and to press are only some of those that we are going to value at the time of choosing a telephone terminal adapted to our needs.
What is different about a mobile phone for the elderly or the deaf.

SOUND· Higher ring volume. Some reach a whopping 90 dB which makes the timbre not go unnoticed.

· Amplified speaker volume. In this way, users with slight hearing losses that are age-specific but who do not have enough loss to use hearing aids can clearly hear their interlocutor's voice.

· Integrated sound system with hearing aid. Many of the terminals send the sound directly to the hearing aid without going through the loudspeaker. This integration means that sound does not have to travel through the air. Goes straight from the phone to the headset.

SCREENS

· Many models have built-in high-resolution screens and a choice of high-contrast colors to make it easy to see the numbers or texts that the terminal presents on screen.

· Tactile with large buttons. The special smartphones for the deaf and the elderly, have on their screens tactile zones of greater size than usual, this way we will avoid erroneous pulsations and mistakes when marking.

KEYS

· Most conventional phones for older people have large and in many cases backlit keys that make it easy to operate with very intuitive and simple menus.

EMERGENCIES

· We all want to reach an advanced age with good health, but in most of the time the health always has some ailment and we are not free from suffering a sudden health problem.

· Positioning by GPS, most of the phones for the elderly and the deaf have GPS positioning that will make it easier to find a family member or friend who has lost his way or lost his lucidity.

· Speed ​​dial button and emergencies. The terminals that we have have, in many cases, buttons for direct access to emergencies (112) and to the closest relatives.

· Family teleassistance bracelet or pendant. Many models have either an accessory or as main equipment an alarm device in case we are not well or suffer a fall that leaves us unable to move and ask for help in an effective way.

INTEGRATION

Nowadays almost all aspects of our life go through more or less intelligent mobile devices. Not being different from the rest of our neighbors or friends is important for the self-esteem of our elders who do not want the majority to consider them "outdated".

TRANQUILITY

· Family and friends have a great ally in the mobile phone of elders to be able to know at any time and place how is our family member.

· Being able to locate your mobile and be able to access to speak directly with them makes us more relaxed and take care of the welfare of our family more closely despite the distance that may be with our elders.

All these aspects you will find in the mobile phones for the elderly that Audioactive takes to your home and to serve your family
