Is the voice loud? My mother does not hear well (even with a hearing aid).

Answering on behalf of my grandmother: the voice is seemingly loud in a quiet room, but it needs to be held up closer to her ear in a crowded room/restaurant, etc.

We have had two. I believe the voice was fine on this one - a woman's voice. On the $29.99 one, it was a man's voice and seemed pretty quiet. They do wear out every four months, apparently.

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.

Although my hearing is going bad, it is not that bad. The volume is adjustable and you should be able to make it loud enough on the handset, in my opinion. We occasionally use the speakerphone feature and also find that to be very loud, but adjustable.

Yes, but this devise is very very very loud. My mother like to have had a Heart attack when it sounded.

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.

it's not difficult, but if your mom has dexterity problems then any of the hearing amplifiers may not be easy if she's changing them herself. My husband hands me his when the battery dies, and i use my fingernail to flip the little tab on the end of the device and the battery door swings open. I want to add that this particular device is about the best one i've bought staying under $100 --- my husband is prone to losing his, so i end up buying about 1 every 2-3 months.

I bought this to assist my mother with her hearing, which is poor at best. This device works very well but not meant to replace custom hearing aids, now if can just get her to use it!

I'm 69 & have slight hearing loss also, so says my wife anyhow. This system has a really nice speakerphone but also has a headphone jack on the handsets, so you can plug in an amplified headset if you need to right into the handset jack... just FYI... that is if the speakerphone ends up not loud enough, but it is pretty loud & very clear also.

If your mother or you or whom ever the pill box is for, they will find it hard to hear but I can hear it through out the entire house, I don't have a hearing problem.

I forwarded the question to the user of the hearing aids...hopefully a reply is forthcoming.....Patti

I'm not sure... but it certainly bothers my granddaughter's acute sense of hearing. :)

Yes. I purchased the headphones for my father's Christmas gift. My mother is now able to listen at "normal" volume.

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.

We purchased it for my mother. She loves it. Does not complain about noise but to be honest she is kind of hard of hearing! However, when I have been over & it has been on, it does not seem too noisy.

The speaker function isn't too bad, but I don't know if it would be loud enough for someone that's very hard of hearing. You might look into buying a separate speaker that hooks up to the phone, it might have a better volume control.
