John Tempesta - Drummer - The Cult

"The reasons I love these headphones are: the bass response is great, they're very comfortable and that whether I'm on a plane or the tour bus, they cancel out all of the unnecessary noise. Great headphones!"

Daniel Solcher - Age 37, San Antonio, TX  – Cochlear Implants on Both Ears

"I am profoundly deaf, and it's very hard to hear beautiful soft sounds (also known as high frequencies). It's very frustrating not being able to hear the whole spectrum of sounds that most people take for granted. When I heard about Able Planet products, I was very skeptical and did not expect to hear any difference because I have tried so many products in my lifetime. After trying the Clear Harmony Stereo Headphones for the first time, I was so hooked and I never wanted to take them off. I can now hear the music more clearly and distinguish the lyrics for the first time ever!! Thank you Able Planet for your life changing products, and for opening up the world of music for me to hear and appreciate!!!"

Ari Goldberg – Speech and Language Pathologist for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Golden, CO (technology was donated by Rotary to his classroom of children with mild to severe to profound hearing loss)

“The product has enhanced our students' abilities to hear the auditory sounds that come from the computer and the phone. The children all seemed to hear "better" and all of the students noticed a difference with the new technology as compared to typical headsets and earphones. Overall, the product seems to be doing what it is supposed to, and hopefully this will enhance the auditory access for all of our students. Thanks Able planet!”

Jonathan – High School Senior, Ft. Collins, CO – Severe hearing loss

“For the first time I can clearly understand and participate in a phone conversation. I was not excited to try the Able Planet technology as I have used many other things and they have not helped. I felt that I was lucky to be able to use the old TTY phone and read the words, hearing them was not an option. I was very happy when I realized I wouldn’t have to live like that forever.”

Jennifer – Student at Colorado State University, Ft. Collins, CO – Severe hearing loss

“I can’t stop smiling, I am so happy about the Able Planet micro-technology™. Being able to use the phone and have a normal conversation without constant static and buzzing is amazing! I am now able to call my friends and family from college and stay connected to them while I am away from home. That was almost impossible to do before. The clarity of this phone is a miracle.”

Pam – Tutor/Interpreter Oral Program, Maple Grove Elementary, Golden, CO – Moderate hearing loss

“I have been so pleased with the handsfree device you have given me for my cell phone. The ability to hear and understand conversations on my cell phone, without straining, has been a blessing. I could not believe how clearly the words come through under ideal situations, but I was astounded when I found I was able to use it in a bowling alley, and not have any difficulty understanding conversations. My youngest son may be following in my footsteps of developing hearing loss. He uses this device when he borrows my phone, and comments on how much easier it is to hear with it, too. I loaned my device to a colleague who has a profound loss. She was so pleased that she ordered a device from your company, and purchased a new cell phone so she could use this technology. Thank you for pursuing your vision to offer superior technology for people who are hearing impaired."

Taylor – Age 13, San Jose, CA – Born with mild to moderate hearing loss

“It used to be really hard for me to understand what people were saying on the phone – so I would never use it. Able Planet allows me to talk on the phone without hearing a buzzing noise. Now I have tons of friends who call me and it is really great. I love using the phone!”

Linda – President of Quota Club, CO – Mild hearing loss

“When I got my Able Planet phone the first call I made was to my husband. I could hear every word he spoke instead of every few words. I didn’t have to strain to listen to what he was saying and we had an actual conversation. It was one of the best days of my life. Not having to ask people to constantly repeat themselves and combat incessant background noise is such a blessing.”

Gloria – Williamsport, PA – Profoundly deaf

“My Able Planet phone is a God send. Most people wouldn’t expect a person who is profoundly deaf to be able to use a phone and I can hear every word from the person on the other end. That right there tells you what an amazing product this is. I think Able Planet is the forerunner for products that will help seniors. I am looking forward to other advances they create to help people with hearing loss. When you have trouble hearing, you hope for a miracle, until then I will be using my Able Planet phone."

Sam – Attorney in Denver, CO – Profound hearing loss after an accident

“With the flip of a switch I can now use a telephone as much as I did before my hearing loss. The clarity is remarkable – I never thought I would be able to use a normal phone again. You have no idea how important the phone is to your daily life until you can’t use it. The Able Planet micro-technology™ is truly a miracle.”

Lisa - Mother of Four Children with Hearing Loss

"Our four children, ages 8, 7, 5 & 5, have been reaping the benefits of Able Planet technology at Maple Grove Elementary School in Golden, Colorado. Although there hasn't been a scientific baseline study done to measure before and after results, we have definitely noticed an increase in how much the kids enjoy going to school and in particular, the areas where this technology is installed; computer labs and music. The clarity this technology provides allows them to fully hear music and understand the words, resulting in much more interest in listening and participation. By removing barriers to learning and understanding, Able Planet has enhanced and enriched the learning experience in ways that make it positive and fun. We feel if the kids are having success and are engaged, they can't help but thrive; which is exactly the case with our family".
