How do people with hearing aids fare with this? Are they able to use it reasonably well?

Hi! I'm not a specialist but if they can hear ok with ear buds they can hear OK with the Nano as the volume is plenty loud enough.Hope this helps

I don't know about this from personal experience. However, I bought this for my father a year back and he seems to have very little trouble with it. The ipod itself should be fine. I imagine that it would all be relative to factors besides the ipod such as choice of earbuds vs, headphones, how large the hearing aids are and how acute one's hearing loss is. Of, course I'd recommend headphones rather than earbuds simply because -depending on the quality of the headphones- they are much more comfortable and also have a more balanced sound quality than earbuds tend to have. I hope this helped.

If you wish, you can, it does have a good volume. It also has an adaptive button that plays louder when other sounds compete.

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.

Hi. The sound is ok but at higher volumes dialogue tends to sound garbled. I have some hearing loss myself and I prefer to use headphones when I'm using the unit. If you're viewing with a friend a pair of headphones can be used by getting a cheap splitter available at any electronics store. It may even have come with one - I don't remember. Cannot beat the picture quality and sturdiness though.

I found this hearing device to be unsatisfactory for my use. First let me say that I am hearing impaired, can't hear much from my right ear and have a hearing aid in my left ear. The device does amplify and helps but it loses the signal very easily. You cannot go into another room or you lose the signal and sometimes if you even turn your head, you lose the signal. I ended up returning it and getting the Sennheiser 840 device. i do not have that problem with it and it does help with hearing. I can also use it with my hearing aid in. Hope that helps.

The ZVOX 580 does a VERY good job at what it was designed to offer; that is, provide improved sound for listeners with impaired hearing. My wife has 65% hearing loss. This amplifier enhances speech and the lower tones that she can still receive. Frankly, while the amplifier performs well, its primary application is not meant for high-quality sound reproduction (the intended users could benefit little from that). So DTS is not all that important. I suggest you go to the website and read more about the equipment.

It works for me. Volume may be an issue if you have the volume control limited.

It seems fine to me. I've had a.few conversations using the headset and have had no complaints. Although it should be noted that I tend to speak a bit loud.

Sounds great to me. However, I wear hearing aids and I may not be your best source for a review

amplification adequate and I'm hearing impaired. It works with hearing aids. Announcing who is calling is not part of my unit.

Amplification is good, but for my father in law...it's the clarity that is challenging. He does wear hearing aids & it does announce who is calling

The product description certainly says it works with hearing aids, but I have not tried it so can't confirm. Perhaps others are using with hearing aids. It is a high quality product, so should do what it says it will do.

Hello there. I haven't had any guests wearing a hearing aid, nor do I wear a hearing aid. I haven't had any issues with this portable voice amplifier. It works extremely well, and I am very happy to have bought it. It's the best, especially when I lead walking tours or am outside in a crowded area making announcements to a big group of people. It is absolutely the best buy! You will love it!

I have a profound hearing loss and wear BTE Aids. There is a volume control button on the Jitterbug Phone that enables enhanced hearing.

This phone is essential for me: I wear two hearing aids. One ear has moderately severe hearing loss, the other worse. The phone enables me to use the phone. People with arthritis might have trouble with the buttons.

I don't know. I have no trouble hearing on the phone with the aid in my ear.
