Great Gift for someone hard of hearing [Posted on 2007-03-13] Got a senior relative that won't wear a hearing aid, but doesn't always hear the phone ringing? And can't quite catch all of the conversation when they do answer the phone? I did, got them this phone for a gift and it has helped a great deal. Directions to assemble the base it sits on are kind of cryptic so you might want to be there to help them set it up, but once it's going it works great -- nice and loud, but not annoyingly so.
Great volume and clarity [Posted on 2007-05-12] This phone is appropriately named. I have just given this to my elderly mother, so it has not yet had much use, but so far she is very pleased. She can hear much better than on any other "volume control" phone we have tried for her... and there is much more volume available that she has not used. She didn't think any phone could reach a volume "too loud" for her. Her hearing loss is significant in the high register, so the tone adjustment is also a nice benefit. This phone has many excellent features.
Good for Almost Deaf [Posted on 2007-10-07] My mother is almost completely deaf and has a hard time even with hearing aids. She can use this phone with or without the hearing aids. I do get a slight clicking on my end but it's not loud enough to be annoying. It's a good buy for hearing impaired.
Functional but poor clarity at loud volumes [Posted on 2008-01-23] I purchased this phone for my father who has difficulty hearing on a regular
telephone. Although the volume is loud, any background noise is very disturbing while talking on this phone. The phone has three tone settings along with volume control. At higher volumes, the tone settings really don't make any difference because he still can't hear because of poor voice quality. This phone is supposed to be hearing aid compatible, my father can here on this phone better without his hearing aid and on a much lower volume than the phone is capable. Hopefully there will be a learning curve associated with using this phone, but for now, it is not worth the money. My expectations were that he would be able to pick up the phone, make a few adjustments, and easily be able to have a normal conversation without a lot of effort. It is just not there yet. It has been about a month maybe time will tell.
