does this Siemens Personal Sound Amplifier work well while using a regular telephone?

Dear Jeffry:Thank you for your reply. Do you use an "Amplified " telephone?Sincerely,Adi D. Mehta

It works fine for me. I use two aids and do not get any feedback issues when using our cell phones. I don't have a land line.

It does help somewhat but not a lot, because the microphone is not where the phone speaker is. But it will improve your hearing a small amount.

I had no success with this hearing amplifier, and got a hearing aid, and my Siemens Orion RIC hearing aid works fine with the phone. If the amplifier works for you, I would believe it would work with your telephone, since it amplifies sound.

I actually use only one hearing aid, and by habit I put the phone on the other ear so I can write with my free hand old style. But when I do use the hearing aid side for one reason or another, the phone comes in nice and clear--though I definitely do not use the high volume setting button! I use an earplug rather than an ear mold, and I am sure that makes some difference in phone use--but the Siemens seems to adjust to phone volume instantly and in this as in other matters proves it to be a remarkable hearing aid.

Yes it does but it sounds the best with both peices. The phone quality for the person on the other end is not very good.

Base unit hands-free speaker works reasonably well with tolerable sound quality. I don't use the base unit hands-free much but it's as least as good as some of the more expensive office-type units I've used. The mobile unit's hands-free works quite well and I use it in this mode often.

you know, i'm actually not sure. i'm thinking no, because the line connection is for a handset plug in, and i think the connection for the actual phone, which is what you have, is different, i think a little larger size. but, maybe. i'll try it when i get a minute, but that won't help you. too bad, as it works pretty well for incoming calls. try it; maybe it'll work. or you could get a slightly different phone to avail yourself of this nice volume improvement. happy holidays!

I have these and use them for webex and teleconferencing. Everyone can hear me fine (once the setup is done in the application) but no, I do not hear myself coming through my head phones.

Kim, the sound quality is above average. I am pleased with aspect of the telephone as well.

I have no problems hearing the other person or them hearing me. It works great!

Yes - you speak directly into the handset and you can hear the person on the other end when they speak - just like a regular phone.

Yes. The speakerphone works very well. Be prepared for listeners to hear EVERYTHING going on in the background when they are on speaker phone.

I do not know the answer to the question. What I do know, is that without this instrument, I would be lost trying to communicate by phone. I have to use hearing aids to communicate with other people, and this gadget makes it possible to talk by phone. The amplification is adjustable, while in use, and I have yet to turn the amplification on full blast.

Yes, it's got quite a good answering machine. Surprisingly, considering all the hype about volume controls and equalizer, the telephone sound quality is not that great. In fact it's less than adequate.

I personally don't have any problems with either. It doesn't effect the sound quality. And when I make phone calls it doesn't interfere.

This amp is supposed to work with regular office/home landline phone to connect to a Plantronic headset. I plugged the amp to my regular Uniden home phone and a plantronics binaural headset and they work well together. There's a switch on the amp that allows you to switch from headset back to using the handset of the home/office phone. The amp has dials to adjust hearing volume and your headset's microphone volume. If your regular/home has its own hearing volume, you might want to adjust both devices' volume to get the optimal. I usually turn my phone's all the way down to one-fifth and turn up the amp's to about 6-7. This amp is supposed to work with regular office/home landline phone to connect to a Plantronic headset.

Both speakers will be active on a phone call. This has been my experience with all stereo headsets and attached devices.

Excellent device for boosting telephone headset sound but, cannot be connected to hearing aids

I think yes. The handsets are quite loud when using the loudspeaker function and quite easy to hear when not.

yes - each handset has a "speaker" button that works just fine. I use it all the time. :)
