is this a good choice for someone hard of hearing?

It work great. You could give it a try and if it does not work out, send it back. I can hear very clearly on this.

I am not recommending this phone. This is a very inexpensive phone and the durability is not worth the money!

It has a stronger receiver than most, but i would recommend you an additional amplifier specifically for people hard of hearing..

I'm afraid not. I bought this because I just wanted a simple phone and the hearing was the problem. There was no way to make it any better. Could have just been 1 bad apple, but I wouldn't buy it again...already replaced mine.

I have some hearing loss and it works fine...how well for you would depend on extent of your loss of hearing. I cannot speak for company policy, and I would assume that if it was inadequate upon purchase and use, you could return it for a refund. Hope this helps.

This phone is louder than most with good clairity. Also seems to work well with a hearing aid (Does not cause a squeal). I think you will be happy.

Yes, it is fairly good for hearing, but all depends on how impaired is your hearing.Martin

I think so. My Dad has partial hearing loss and he hears it. There are several tunes and noise choices so, I feel there are some that would hit the pitch you can hear.

Yes, that's what makes it so wonderful. DH can watch tv anytime at night he wants to, doesn't disturb me a bit. I have the tv on mute, but his headphones are always adjusted to suit his hearing needs. I can control the volume when I'm in the room and his adjustment remains the same. It has allowed him to not get hear aids as the tv was our biggest problem. He had the sound set at 90 on the tv and I just couldn't stand it that high. Now, we're happy as clams. Go for it.

I am not sure it would be loud enough for folks with hearing issues, but it is as loud as my older system, if that helps.

Not being a doctor, not sure if they would help hard of hearing people or not...although, I would think some help would be there....first of all, you wouldn't be susceptible to other noises in the room....the ear phones would isolate the TV sound....you would have to try them, I would think....good luck..

Being that I don't wear a hearing aid, it's hard to say if this phone would work for someone that is hearing impaired. The speaker is adjustable, but I can't adjust it while I'm on a call. For this reason I wouldn't recommend it. Unless you get a really good deal on it.

The use of the Williams Sound is more effective for people whose hearing aids don't help to communicate because of distortion and and not able to hear words clearly. This gadget is ideal for communicating one to one person in hearing disable individuals where hearing aids are useless. I am candidate for coclear implants as a last resource and with the Williams Sound I am able to have conversations and understand them. I don't think it will be useful for listening TV. I still have to depend on captions or subtitles when watching TV.

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.

Depends on your pickiness....I don't think so, when music is so loud its distorted it makes it tolerable. But it its normal you don't need anything.Its not that expensive a purchase and cheaper and less impaired than hearing aids when your hearing is impaired from music damage. My husband has hearing problems in certain ranges, and needs hearing aids to hear higher softer pitches

don't know if this phone is good for hard of hearing.we use it for a grandma with low vision.

I found the sound to be adequate if you had the player on your lap or very close. My hearing is not perfect but I do hear normal sound. It would depend on how badly your dad's hearing is impaired.

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.

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.

as long as the person does not have a high level hearing impairment, i think they should be fine. sorry, i cannot give u any specifics, such as decibels, etc.

I would be wary. This is not designed for the hard of hearing. My best advice to you, is to purchase a phone that is designed for the hard of hearing. A phone that is designed for the hard of hearing is medical device. This phone is not a medical device!

Yes, perfectly! If you're very nit-picky, the speaker is a *little* off but does not obstruct listening.

Sorry I don't have a better answer. It's pretty loud but not specifically designed for the hearing impaired.
