I bought this phone for my 82 yr old Mom and she really likes it and her hearing is poor. It also has larger numbers and the larger screen which is easy to see. It has several features that I, as her responsible go-to person really appreciate it having. There is a place to put in notes; I was able to specifically set the ICE contacts instead of there just coming up in alpha order and it has a 911 button that is easy for her to see and find and hear. And finally, Verizon, where I have our accounts provides service to it. Some of the other phones on the market for the elderly are not serviced by my carrier and I did not want to open a separate account for her phone with a different carrier.

I'm going to say no, this phone is a basic phone . The volume is not really loud not can you make it that way.

Yes, I'd say so. You can adjust the volume & if you crank it up, it's pretty loud. My wife has one also (she's a little hard of hearing) and it works great for her.

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 everbeen 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.

Funny you mention it. I've read a few people stating so, not many though. I think people are more worried about hearing others, not others hearing them. However, this is the key feature I'm looking for. I'm trying to replace my Panasonic KX-TG2730, which my Dad can't hear me on at all. I thought he was going deaf, until a house guest called me at work from my phone and I realized it's been my phone the whole time. I have numerous other people asking me to speak up too. I would like this phone, it's got excellent reviews, but I'm going to do a little more research first.

The phone can be answered by either the touch screen on the front or open up and hit OK button to answer. If your Dad is anything like my mom I probably would not recommend this phone as the touch screen locks itself to prevent butt dialing and so you have to unlock before you can answer it. If you open up the phone to answer you can set it to automatically be on speaker which is great for anyone with hearing aids. I love the keyboard for texting which is the main reason I've held out so long in upgrading to the new tech savvy phones.

No, the speaker function is by far the weakest feature on this product. My hearing is not bad and sometimes I really have to listen to get the message. Otherwise this is a great phone.

Depends on level of impairment. My hearing is not the best and I can hear it fine. It is not real loud, like a person speaking in a normal voice. A very nice scale.

I don't believe it does. The rationale in the design of the phone is for the user to be able to read the caller's message not to be hands free. That being said if you go to the FAQs on the CapTel website there is a program that you can download which would allow you to be hands free. There is also a lot of good information about hearing loss and other available devices.

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.

its really not that great. it just sounds like youre on speaker phone the whole time if you cant get the headset to work. it doesnt get great reception and the texting is incredibly difficult. its not a phone for people with bad eyes.

I don't have that exact situation but I have a hard time hearing people and they can't hear me. I understand it's because the phone is waterproof and everything is blocked. I'll stick with my life proof which is not as bad

The sound on this phone is wonderful. Very clear and no interferences of any kind. To hear someone talking on this phone is great. I am an severe hearing impaired person since Birth, and I was hesitant at first myself. However, I took a chance and have never regretted my decision to buy this particular cell phone. I thank Tracfone for this wonderful cell phone and Amazon for carrying it. Good Luck!

No-this is just a simple, inexpensive, corded phone that has a button to push for people who are hearing impaired to assist them in hearing telephone calls. The phone also rings very loudly.

Stephen I couldn't really answer that question. I lost the phone. I now have the LG 840G which seems to work quite well. The volume control on the left side and does get quite Loud Maybe try a search for hearing impaired phones. Good Luck.

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.

My mother, who uses the phone, wears two hearing aids. She has the corded phone and doesn't have any problem hearing conversation on it. I can't speak for the cordless one as I've not tried it. I did call the company for some help with the phone and their customer service is excellent, so I'm thinking that if you purchase one and don't like it, the return should be fairly easy. Hope this is helpful.

The speaker phone is in the handset. This is a good phone for hearing-it cups your ear a bit so it doesn't pick up much background noise.

I have experienced great results with this phone. I have excellent hearing; my wife's hearing is starting to decline (deafness runs in her family). The phone is versitile enough to allow us to modify volume to suit each of us, without sacrificing sound quality.
