I have moderate hearing difficulty and am concerned about voice clarity and volume with this phone.

While this phone does have a volume control, I was not impressed with it. For one thing, it does not work with headsets such as the Plantronics S12. I ended up also buying the Uniden 1360BK Desktop Corded Telephone, which has a good sound with good volume control, a speakerphone, and works well with the S12. It has a nice LCD screen which allows you to both review and name a set of often used numbers that you program. It's worth the extra money, in my opinion.

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 not had any issues with clarity or volume. Sounds are clear (not muffled) and the volume is adjustable.

No no one has complained about the phone being too quiet. I use the handset, speaker phone and a 3rd party wired Hands-Free Headset.

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.

I have people all the time tell me that my sound is really clear and ask what kind of headset I use. I imagine it depends on your phone also.

I have this same problem. Basically, the microphone on this phone doesn't pick up my voice well enough and the person on the other end has to keep saying "what?". I am returning the phone. I tried 2 different ones and both were the same. Otherwise, I loved the phone. I also tried this side by side with other cordless phones and the difference is significant. Panasonic tech support could not help fix the problem.

yes this is the best phone that i have used. it is possible to reduce the volume to almost normal hearing level. "

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!

The clarity is very good - I bought this phone because my husband has hearing problems and this phone does help.

The sound quality is definitely affected. The loudspeaker to listen music to is OK but the call sound volume is noticeably quieter. It's not too bad though if your hearing is good. Also check out the Incipio Atlas. Which I found out about after I bought this case. Good luck choosing!

Not than I'm aware of but for some reason I have complaints about MIC clarity on voice calls case on or off... Maybe it's the carrier.. Odd because recording quality is near Hi Def sound

I am not sure. I bought the phone for my mother. We are able to have have conversations now and she calls me back but her husband does not have a problem with his hearing. I do not regret buying the phone for her, there is a little delay as she reads what my statmements and then in turns responds.

I can hear clearly on the phone and when I speak to others they can hear me clearly.

I don't know. What happened is that after I had bought the phone you had I discovered that the company that made them for GE had gone out of business and that there was no longer any technical support for their product. So I returned it and bought a Clarity cordless phone with hearing enhancement. My experience with the Clarity has been satisfactory.Good luck.John Mills

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.

There is not a problem hearing the caller, I use the base, handset and speaker phone in addition to the portable, handset and speaker phone and insert an earpiece in it sometimes. All are clear and loud, they all have a volume control which I normally use at a 3 (out of 5) level
