NAPERVILLE, Ill. -- ClearSounds Communications, the leading manufacturer of listening devices for people with hearing loss, is excited to announce that their QH2 Bluetooth Hub & Phone Amplifier has received ICASA compliance certification and is now available for residents of South Africa with decreased or impaired hearing.

Compliance standards for the communications industry in South Africa—to which the QH2 Hub belongs—are regulated by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA). According to its website, ICASA “also issues licenses to telecommunications and broadcasting service providers, enforces compliance with rules and regulations [and] protects consumers from unfair business practices and poor quality services.” ClearSounds is proud to add ICASA compliance to its comprehensive list of international approvals and certifications.

In any workplace, communication is crucial. When a client feels like they’re not being heard or a customer call takes twice as long as it should to be resolved, it’s a big problem. "When you have difficulty hearing well at work, it affects not only productivity, it has a negative impact on your confidence and others’ perceptions of your knowledge and your leadership skills,” explains ClearSounds President & CEO Michele Ahlman. “We've developed these products as tools that eliminate the road blocks hearing loss can create in the workplace." If your workstation just isn’t working for you, it’s time to do something about it. It’s time for a solution.

The ClearSounds QH2 Bluetooth Hub & Phone Amplifier is the workplace solution you’ve been looking for. Boost your productivity levels by boosting your phone’s sound and say goodbye to those little ‘chats’ with your manager about your performance. The innovative QH2 was designed to fit your unique needs, including a variety of adjustable options and settings that ensure every call is crystal-clear with up to 30 dB of amplified volume and frequency management. Your Bluetooth headset, neckloop, hearing aid streamer or cochlear implant receives the Bluetooth signal transmitted by the QH2 directly from your office (or home!) phone for wireless, limitless hands-free conversation.

Pricing & Availability

The QH2 Bluetooth Hub & Phone Amplifier can be ordered through your local audiologist or hearing care professional. More information about the QH2 and related products, including the Quattro 4.0 Adaptive Bluetooth System, can be found at www.ClearSounds.com.
