Does it have a voice enhancement mode. Important to me because I wear hearing aids.

The feature to enhance voice is called "Night" mode. The reason its termed that is because the speaker reduced the bass output as well as boosting the dialog of movies. It works pretty well. There are often times when the speaker is in "Normal" mode that I miss some softly spoken words so I turn on the "Night" mode (which is conveniently placed on the remote), and rewind the movie a bit & I can clearly hear the words what I originally missed.

It does, but you have to lower the bass to improve clarity in my experience.

No voice enhancement mode but the "night" mode makes dialogue much clearer. I find myself using it all the time for that reason.

It does have individual speaker volume levels, however I am unaware of a speaker equalizer.

The Tweak comes with "built-in" programs that you activate by holding the rocker switch down for 10-15 seconds and releasing. You will hear a tone for either the "quiet" or "noisy setting" if you have the Focus model. In addition you can adjust volume up (upper rocker) or down (lower rocker) using short taps. I am a long time hearing aid user and I find these adjustments very comparable to "programmable" hearing aids, which are in fact set up by audiologists typically at time of initial purchase. Bottom line, no big difference and way way more affordable for me.

Yes, it enhances voice calls as well as it does music. This is a FANTASTIC little speaker, excellent sound quality, great value for the price!

Yes it does. However- the speaker in the thing either sounds muffled or like an intercom (loud) with crappy voice quality. Like a child's walkie-talkie sound with the pitch way off. The microphone at its loudest is barely audible. But if you hook up your computer or smart phone/tablet to amplified speakers it comes though clear and good. Also the android/IOS two-way feature button doesn't always work to activate/deactivate. The web page interface on mydlink.com works best.

Absolutely! My husband is a little hard of hearing (but he won't admit it) and he can hear perfectly fine no matter who he talks to. You can up the volume a lot, but I haven't had to. This is the best phone on the market.

I did not notice any difference in sound. I purchased this product only for the cosmetic enhancement.

Hearing aids are very frequency responsive. If you have ever played with your computer's audio player, you might have noticed it has a "graphic equalizer". This allows you to set the frequencies best for your hearing. This phone is set for best voice modulation. If you compare the sound from this phone with many others, you will find that most people describe the sound as "deep" or "rich" or "so realistic"... etc. Hearing aids have difficulty with higher end frequencies that are normally on the top end of the voice scale. Therefore, most hearing aids are going to "like" this sound as it is most like real human speech. The tones will be low enough and rich enough that the hearing aid does not lose detail in the top end. Hope that helps.. :)

I have a profound hearing loss and wear BTE Aids. There is a volume control button on the Jitterbug Phone that enables enhanced hearing.

Hello, Yes, I suggest you ensure you have a voice recorder with noice canceling capability. I used a recorder without that feature and the quality of recording was very difficult. I highly recommend this little device. Good Luck!

The ZVOX 580 does a VERY good job at what it was designed to offer; that is, provide improved sound for listeners with impaired hearing. My wife has 65% hearing loss. This amplifier enhances speech and the lower tones that she can still receive. Frankly, while the amplifier performs well, its primary application is not meant for high-quality sound reproduction (the intended users could benefit little from that). So DTS is not all that important. I suggest you go to the website and read more about the equipment.

Amplification is good, but for my father in law...it's the clarity that is challenging. He does wear hearing aids & it does announce who is calling

Yes, though the boost is really very minimal. If you have more than moderate hearing loss, this item will not help much. Mine ended up in the trash.

I believe it is hearing air compatible. My hearing aids do not have the "t-coil", so they do not have a "phone mode." What is important is that the volume is adjustable - there is a slider that raises the volume. If that is not enough, you can press the "boost" button, and the slider still adjusts the volume. In other words, I may answer the phone with the volume control in the "middle" without boost. I can increase the volume, but if that is not enough, press the boost button and slide the volume control to the min and increase as I need it. My wife, who does not have a hearing loss, likes this phone the best of all the phones in the house.

Yes it does and it sounds very good. And auxiliary speaker will sound better but it's not really necessary unless your vehicle or home is noisy. Or your hearing is somewhat hearing impaired.

It does have a volume control, but it may not have enough volume to help. That would depend on the person using it. This phone is not intended for someone with real hearing problems, but there are other phones for similar prices which ARE designed to help the near-deaf.
