I wondered how the sound quality is for the ringer? My husband has a hard time hearing his phone and it's turned up to the max?

Hi Kim(: My husband could stand to have a hearing aid but he won't get one. He had no problem with hearing the ringer on his Boulder. In fact, I'm going to order him another as his was ran over by the lawn mower. (:

I'm hard of hearing also and I didn't have trouble hearing the casio gzone boulder ringer

The ring is a good volume . I am totally deaf and have cochlear implants for hearing. If I can hear it anyone can! Good luck

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.

The ringer does not come thru the speakers. If your phone rings, the music stops and all you hear is the phone ringer, when your finished with your call the music resumes. Bought this for my husband last fathers day and he loves it! It gets pretty loud and the music does not get all fuzzy or distorted when played loud...

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.

Yes, you can adjust the ringer volume control. if you look at the photo included with my question from Amazon, you can see a small red object protruding from the upper right side of the phone; that is the ringer volume control. We ordered it because we wanted a loud ringer but when you set it to the loudest volume, it vibrated so hard that the bell kinda thuds instead of ringing, so we set the ringer volume lower and it works fine. the listening volume control is on the handset basically where your fingers grip the receiver.

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.

The volume can't be turned up. Although I so think its loud enough for a Child to hear. Due to there keen hearing. I'm sometimes great-full that it is quiet. My daughter loves to use this phone. It seems to be loud enough for her to hear. I hope this helps. Take care, and enjoy your little one.

Not as loud as I would like and no way to make it louder manually. Also, would be happier if ringer volume could be increased. Perhaps if you contact Great Call directly, they could tell you if volume can be increased by them. Otherwise great product.

Yes, it's got quite a good answering machine. Surprisingly, considering all the hype about volume controls and equalizer, the telephone sound quality is not that great. In fact it's less than adequate.

Mine is hardly loud at at...really disappointing. Can hardly hear it on a phone call in the car.

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.

The low setting is not that quiet and the med and high are very noisy -- is this normal?? My husband can't tolerate noise.. Is there a number to call to find out if this noise is normal?

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.

The ringer is loud, the talking Caller ID is loud, speaker phone is average. We know when the phone rings and who is calling anywhere in the house. As far as talking on the handsets, we have not tested the maximum receivers output. I hope this helps.

I find the Speaker Phone to be quite adequate; sufficiently loud enough for those with hearing difficulties. The playback on the voice messaging system is not quite as loud, but I believe still adequate.

The Ringer can be put on off, low or high. I just tested it. The phone works very well. Both the speaker and hand held are clear and can be adjusted for volume. It also has a jack for a headset. I would buy again.

My husband has a Samsung and does not like the sound quality at all. I've had very good luck with sound quality and battery life with all my LG phones, and this extravert is no exception. I do not use my phone for the web or anything like that, so I'm not sure how the battery would do if I did use it for that, but for calling and texting, it is great. I also don't use my phone to listen to music, but all my ring tones sound great - no distortion at all. Sound for regular phone conversations is excellent.
