SALT LAKE CITY, March 19, 2002--ClearOne Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: CLRO) has

business development and client appointment telemarketing groups, the largest of
such groups within Ernst & Young. Most recently, he was area director of sales
for the Mid-Atlantic States.
Prior to Ernst & Young, Fellows spent seven years with IBM in the company's
personal computer and software divisions, where worked specifically with IBM's
technology channel partners. He achieved the highest honor in IBM sales and
marketing in 1991 when he was elected to the Golden Circle. Fellows earned a
bachelor's degree in economics and computer science from Middlebury College
(Middlebury, Vt.).
"Andy has a successful history of selling and managing service channels very
similar to those ClearOne is currently developing," said Frances Flood,
