Will this be a good phone for someone who can't hear very well? It needs to be quite loud, almost uncomfortably loud for someone with normal hearing.

The phone does have a loud setting, but I still find it difficult to hear the person I am communicating with in an environment with normal background noise. I would suggest that the purchase of a more specialized phone would be more suitable for your needs.

The ringtone does have a loud setting, but I did not find a listening volume adjustment so I'm not sure it would work for someone quite hard of hearing.

It is not very good I have to keep it on speaker in order to hear, but I am able to turn down the volume, so no one can hear the speaker. Only problem is remember to put it on speaker when calling or receiving a call.

The phone is dust proof, but as per LOUD ringing...? May be not very, very loud!

We returned ours. Callers could not hear us - static, sometimes muffled. Regarding the earpiece, it was 50/50. Sometimes okay, other times not. Rather than to try another we went with another senior cell phone.

Yes. I didn't use the phone at all much. my phone had no volume so people couldn't hear me. If purchased be sure to keep receipts so you can return..

I don't wear a hearing aid, but I do have a hearing problem and probably should. I find the sound clarity of this phone "fuzzy" on the cordless handsets and my wife, who has perfect hearing has the same problem, so I know it is not just me. I also know it is not a line problem, because my old cordless phones are clear as a bell, just worn out so I can't use them. I would not recommend this phone to anyone with a hearing problem.

Hi!At first the reception was pretty bad. Not sure if it was the area I'm in or the phone, but it did get much better. Under the settings there is a sound mode that can be adjusted. You can give the phone a try and if it doesn't work, there should be a money-back guarantee time frame so you can return the device. Hope this helps.

To me the answering machine is not very loud. I have bought three phones and the one I would buy again would be the clarity XL professional. This is a great phone. Everything is adjustable and is loud if you need it to be. You can't go wrong with the clarity.

It's pretty loud in your ear, but like all cell phones, it doesn't ring loud. You have to mostly depend on the vibrate. I didn't try using it with sensitive ear buds though. Some ear buds are louder than others. It's a really nice phone though, and I got a black rubber case for it, it's really nice to handle.

the phone did not have a clear sound. I was very dissatisfied with this phone and no long have it.

The only answer I can give you is that we bought this for my mother who has hearing aids in both ears and she can hear very well while using this phone. I believe some phones that aren't hearing air compatible may cause "feed back" squealing. No problem with this phone. It works quite well.

I can hear fine, and the person I'm talking to never seems to have any problems hearing me. There is difficulty when you have the phone on speaker, the person always complains that they can't hear me, but I can hear them fine. So other than the speakerphone part, the hearing isn't a problem. I also tend to use my Bluetooth headphones whenever I can just because it's convenient and it's a little clearer

I am hard of hearing, so this phone has been good for me. The ring volume is quite loud, even with my hearing. The music is also very loud on the high settings. Phone lasts up to a week on one charge, the best I've ever been able to obtain from any phone. Keys are large and easy to press. Texting is good although it doesn't have a keyboard. Unless a large amount of texting is done this phone will do well. Well worth the price.

Yes the sound is of very good quality. I receive up to 30 calls a day, and occasional the volume was higher. That's because the customer on the other end is speaking to low or their volume is too low. Great phone for me.

Not a good phone. My father has a hearing aid, complained about volume. I've tried it out, the volume seems to cut out Throughout conversation. Would not recommend

The speaker function is normal sound (not fairly loud) on the corded phone and the speaker is fairly low on the handset. I would not recommend for the hard of hearing. Hope this answers your question.
