How does this hearing aid deal with phone calls?

I use a phone that has an amplifier built in and this hearing device has no specific setting for phones to my knowledge. Many others that cost considerably more do but none of those I have owned worked that much better. This is a very nice unit at a very nice price. I like it better every day.

Bought for my dad and he liked, but he could use the phone without the device. Sorry can't help you.

I never tried it with the phone because I couldn't get it to stop "whistling". You need to know this is a "Hearing Amplifier", not a legitimate "Hearing Aid". I hope this is helpful.

The tone quality is good and the volume of the caller's voice can be increased, with a push of a button, during the call. So I would say this phone could be suitable for someone with a moderate hearing loss. If the person's hearing loss is severe, then one of the phones that type out what the caller is saying on a display screen might be required.

Hi, I have used this phone for about 6 months now. I love it. It operates like any other cordless phone for non hearing aid users. For those of us with Phonak hearing aids, you just have to press a small button when you want it to broadcast to your hearing aids. It has a vibrate feature for the ring. A volume control that can be set in the normal range for regular folks. It is basically no different from regular phones except for the feature that connects to the hearing aids. I have other phones but they come with a warning about the volume and other family members have to be careful when they use them. That is not the case with the Phonak telephone. It also has good range. Hi, I have used this phone for about 6 months now. I love it. It operates like any other cordless phone for non hearing aid users.

Yes it does. You control how loud it rings and how loud the other person sounds on the receiver. One thing I didn't like was that when someone calls, the phone speaks the name of whoever is calling, however this at&t; brand isn't clear at all at pronouncing the words correctly. It sounds like gibberish 80% of the time. PANASONIC is the best at sounds all around.

They get pretty loud. I'm betting your only issues will be talking on the phone with them. My full face handles calls easily, I'm sure it'll do fine.

I have Phonak hearing aids with the Compilot Bluetooth/remote. Works very well with my telephone! It even sends caller ID when the phone rings. I have several family and friends' numbers programmed in the phone and in those cases tells me who's calling.

No, it doesn't have that feature. Its just a regular headset for phone calls.

It does have a volume adjustment. Press in on the call hang up button but HOLD DOWN ON IT. A ding sound will increase in volume all the way up to a point, then start at the lowest possible volume setting again. Do this while on a call and be careful not to hang up on the person by pressing and releasing quickly. You might be able to try it while playing music, too, but I have not tried it yet.

The phone actually has two controls for volume. One is to control the decibel level and the other controls the tone (treble vs. bass). As I am severely hearing impaired, this is a real plus.

I cannot answer the question but I will say that the reason I bought the telephone ringer was so that I could hear my cell phone ring from anywhere in the house or outside in the yard. It accomplishes this task well, and you can definitely hear the alarms sounding when the phone rings. I am a bit deaf and this device has helped me avoid missing many phone calls which I would not have heard in the past. I think I paid $35-40 for the Serene ringmaster and it is worth the cost.

Not sure what you mean. The noise cancellation is an on off switch and that's the only way it works. I haven't used this for calls, only listening. I imagine the noise canceling works with calls too.

The volume is excellent on the handsets. It can be adjusted to whichever suits your hearing needs. I am very pleased with the unit. I have had it for 1 1/2 years.

Has a nice, loud ring if that's what you're asking. Has a volume control on the side. Also has volume control for hearing the voice at the other end of your call

Joan, my wife, has ahearing aid and has no ,trouble using the phone. However, this may not be true with every hearing aid. Joan's is a Costco hearing aide.

I purchased this for my grandmother who has a hearing aid. She has had other phones for hearing aids but she says this phone is much better.
