If you're the type of person who always has some trouble hearing their telephone ringing then the 95 Decibel Telephone Ringer from Hammacher Schlemmer will certainly come in handy, since it will make sure you don't miss a call, wherever you might be around the house.
Of course, there's also a downside to this product, namely the fact that, once installed, you won't be able to use the excuse of not having heard the phone ringing anymore, something many people won't really like.
Anyway, back to the 95 Decibel Telephone Ringer, it's important to mention that it allows users to set the desired sound intensity, the available range varying between 80 and 95db, while the tone can also be set at one of the three different pitches.
In order to make sure that you've heard this thing ringing (although, at 95db, its rather hard to ignore it, unless you suffer from some form of hearing disorder), the device generates sound continuously for four seconds with a four-second pause between each ring.
Moreover, in order to add some visual stimuli to the audio ones, a bright LED flashes along with the ringer to attract attention.
The device is quite easy to setup, since it simply plugs into a modular telephone jack and has a built-in extension jack that allows a telephone to be plugged into it, while being powered by an AC adapter.
Plus, it shouldn't take too much space around the house, given the fact that it measures 6 x 3 1/2 x 1 ¾ inches and weighs 1.5 pounds.
Last, but certainly not least, it's important to mention that the 95 Decibel Telephone Ringer from Hammacher Schlemmer isn't exactly particularly expensive, selling for just around 50 US dollars, but it's perhaps for the better to thoroughly consider all of its pros and cons (some of which we've listed above) before actually deciding to go further and make the purchase.
