We were buying them for my mother in law who has severe macular degeneration and is also very hard of hearing. The sound was loud enough for her to hear OK.

I got this for my mom and she is hard of hearing but she hears the voice just fine and loves it.

My mother is legally blind and hard of hearing and is able to hear it clearly.

The voice is loud,but how loud is loud. As we all know everyone hearing is different so there is knowing if your relative would be able to hear the voice. But with this product you can bring it close to your ear,or as I tell my customers you can pin it on the persons top part of there garment. I hope this will help you decide.

There is a quick tone sound to let you know the speaker is in, there is also a blue light on the side of the speaker. The sound I don't think can be disabled

Hi Tina! No, they'll still be able to hear the loud piano player, but not AS loud. I find I'm still able to concentrate even with the TV blarring in the background.

Well, the volume gets pretty loud, and the speakers are pretty clear. A person with no hearing impairment can hear sound better as well as more of the details you don't hear with standard speakers. Without knowing the degree of impairment, however, I can't give you a definitive answer.

Yes, everyone else can still hear the TV at their level of volume, while a person hard of hearing uses the headphones. When my dad, who is completely deaf in one ear and going deaf in the other, wheres these headphones, we're able to have the volume to half the level my dad would need it to hear. There is a separate volume control on the headphones themselves, that the wearer can use to adjust the volume. Also, my dad has the transmitter behind the TV, and still works great.

Someone with good hearing DOES hear all sounds BUT not to the same amplification.

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.

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

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.

I would say "yes." My husband is pretty hard of hearing and even he doesn't set it at maximum volume.

My mom is pretty deaf. She can hear this phone ring and it also lights up like a Christmas tree when it rings. That being said she cannot hear a thing when she tries to talk on the phone

Asked the wife and she says that everyone hears her just fine. She does talk a little louder than most. Personally I don't like these things, need a phone to my ear.

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 think it is a man's voice. The voice is not too loud, but loud enough to be heard.

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.

I can't give you a number but very very loud. Mom is terribly hard of hearing and can still use it without her hearing aids
